January 24th, 1536 — the moment when a king hit the ground and England held its breath.
In this gripping episode of The Lion and the Rose, we unpack the infamous jousting accident that left Henry VIII unconscious for two hours. But this isn’t just about a fall it’s about how that fall changed everything. From shattered lances and royal bravado to miscarriages, court panic, and the birth of tyranny, this is the joust that broke a legend.
⚔️ Why was Henry still jousting at 44? ⚔️ What really happened on the field that day? ⚔️ How did Anne Boleyn’s fate unravel from it? ⚔️ And what did England lose when the crown hit the dirt?
It’s action, drama, trauma and the turning point of a king’s reign.
