i just realized in haus of holbein they say "turn this veir into a nine" and veir means four and that song is a transition into cleve's part, and she's the fourth wife!!!

Six and Henry VIII

So Six the musical kinda slaps and it is really really silly. Which I adore. And it got me thinking (yeah surprise...)

The first thing i find interesting how this musical about queens does not want to talk about politics. It frames the stories of the queens as personal stories with an abusive ex. And it is not alone in this regard. A lot of youtube viedeos about Henry Viii and his wife weirdly do not want to talk about politics. They just assume that Henry VIII stays an "internationally revered king" . Which is not the case.

that is most prominent in Haus of Holbein and Get Down. Haus of Holbein paints the picture that Henry VIII could choose any girl he wanted in Europe.

That was not the case. All of the catholic princesses didn't want to marry him because of catherine of aragon. and most of the protestant princesses didnt want to marry him because of anne boleyn.

The reason Cleve got such a good settlement was because she accepted all of Henrys Terms (Henry loved himself a submissive woman) and because she was a protestant princess. if henry cut of a princesses head of there was a real possibility that the protestant countries would have declared war. After Cleve Henry was internationally isolated. Cleve was supposed to be the bridge to the other protestant countries. There ist nothing of this in the muscial. Because the musical doesn't want to talk about politics.

The other thing is: after Anne Boleyn every other wife was scared of losing her head. And still Jane Seymour was cast as a love story...

TL/DR By refusing to talk about politics and consequences Six the musical which wants to drag Henry VIII for his abuse of his wifes ends up weirdly sympathetic to him.
