Meet the 13-Year-Old Bringing Henry VIII to YouTube

What inspires a 13-year-old to dress as Henry VIII and teach Tudor history on YouTube? Meet Mason Thomas, the brilliant young creator of "King Henry’s Royal Court", a channel blending comedy, satire, dramatic reenactments, and historical insight — all told through Henry VIII’s eyes. In this interview, Mason shares how his passion for history began, why he chose Henry VIII, and how he balances humour with accuracy. We talk research, costumes, favourite Tudor facts, the challenges of running a history channel as a teenager, and his dreams for the future. Whether you’re a Tudor history fan or love seeing the next generation of historians at work, you’ll be inspired by Mason’s enthusiasm, creativity, and knowledge.
