A Mother's Curse: Why Every Male Heir Died Young?

Were Tudor Sons Cursed? Why Every Male Heir Died Young Step into the shadows of the Tower of London to uncover one of history’s most chilling patterns: the systematic demise of the Tudor male heirs. "Were Tudor Sons Cursed? Why Every Male Heir Died Young" explores the haunting legacy of Elizabeth Woodville, the "White Queen," whose grief-stricken vengeance may have altered the course of the English monarchy forever. After the mysterious disappearance of her sons—the famous Princes in the Tower—Elizabeth allegedly cast a dark invocation, wishing that the murderers' male descendants would never live to see manhood. This documentary investigates whether this was mere medieval superstition or a documented historical phenomenon. From the sudden death of Richard III’s only son to the tragic losses of Henry VII and the desperate, blood-soaked quest of Henry VIII to secure a male successor, we trace a 120-year cycle of infant mortality, teenage illness, and dynastic extinction. We delve into the medical realities of the time—tuberculosis, the "sweating sickness," and potential genetic disorders—while weighing them against the sheer, uncanny consistency of the "Woodville Curse" that seemed to spare daughters while striking down every prince. Drawing on archival records from the National Archives (UK), the treason trial transcripts of the Duke of Buckingham, and contemporary accounts of the Princes in the Tower, this video pieces together evidence from a world where politics and the supernatural were inextricably linked. We examine the writings of modern historians and researchers at The Tudor Society, alongside forensic theories regarding the health of Henry VIII and Edward VI, to determine if the Tudor "curse" was a matter of biology, psychology, or something far more mysterious. 📚 Professional Script Sources The National Archives (UK): Records regarding the disappearance of the Princes in the Tower and the reign of Richard III.
