Reddit's been rating English monarchs based on "le worst thing they've ever done"
>>

Well, it is a reddit list...
That said, I agree about Henry VIII being the worst. He just inherited the easiest realm any King ever inherited and didn't do much that was positive, other than investing in the Navy.
His father gave him a stable, peaceful realm with a full treasure.

He broke up with Rome.
>>
>>18132153
Reddit also thinks Edward VIII is literally the worst king ever because he maybe had some sympathies for the Nazis. Sure, he was a failure, but you’d think he was a concentration camp guard with how much they hate him.
>>
>>18132190
Charles I was a much worse king. The worst perhaps. Henry VIII further centralized the state and set up a noble class and religion that would be the foundation of the English snd British state for centuries.
>>
>>18132205
>He broke up with Rome
Yes, exactly. Another negative point for him. He broke up with Rome causing huge conflicts just so he could cheat on his wife with a younger woman, sacked monasteries that were the only thing giving alms to poor people. Also killed tons of innocent people when breaking up with Rome.
Just a terrible King who in order to sleep with a younger woman created conflicts in a peaceful stable realm.

The opposite of Henry VII.
>>
>>18132253
What? Henry VII centralized England and changed its nobility. His failure of a son just sacked monasteries, created a national church that right now is "Atheism-plus" in disguise and spent money on useless wars in Europe for his ego.

>lays the foundation for the Elizabethen Age
>pulled the Divine Right of King's out of his ass, laying the foundation for Parliament to demand more liberties
>threw off the p*pist yoke that would retard the rest of the continent (save the Dvtch) for for another century
>just straight up confiscated huge sums of wealth from the p*posts to grow the state, creating the Navy in the process
>had people executed at will just because he could kek
>King of Ireland, bitchslapped Wales into submission
>didn't do much
Ok reddit

>>18132153
Henry VIII was beloved in his day. It's half the reason people accepted the split from Rome, they were intensely loyal and fond off him. But this list is a meme anyway, the only real fuck up on this list was Charles I.
>>
>>18132274
His father did a much better job generally, but Henry VIII took it even further. How do you think he got away with all the shit he did? And despite what the Church of England became, it was for a long time a pillar of the English and later British state that furthered that state’s interests.

Let's leave the focusing on the worst a monarch has done to the redditors. What's the BEST thing each English monarch has done? I'll start with a big one: expelling the Jews.

Why is moralfagging so gay? Like on the one hand ofc you wouldn't want to get executed by a monarch, but when you see a cringe reddit list excoriating them for it it gives you the ick

Charles I was the king. He was a complete flop. It all falls on him. A better monarch like Elizabeth or Charles II would have managed to avoid a civil war.

>>18132153
Only reddit would chuck out the whole War of the Ring so to focus on one minor nitpick
