Horrible Histories: Verschrikkelijke Tudors

The Tudors are genuinely grisly, and my kids are obsessed with the gory details they'd never hear in class. It's got that same silly, fast-paced humor that makes car rides fly by, and the "foul facts" actually stick with them.

The kids have listened to this one three times in the car already, and even I'm learning things about Henry VIII that definitely didn't show up in my history classes. It's properly gross and funny, just the right mix to keep them quiet on a long drive.

My son's been laughing nonstop at the "foul facts" about Henry VIII — it's gross enough to keep him engaged but educational underneath it all. We've already listened to it three times in a row on the way to school.
