The Iliad and odyssey are fictional accounts of likely real events. Most historians believe the Trojan war happened in some form, but not like it’s described in the poems

Yes please continue the Odyssey book!

So, Catherine of Aragon is the mother of Mary I, Henry divorced her, but she was not beheaded. Anne Boleyn, was mother to Elizabeth I, and was beheaded by Henry, He then married, Jane Seymour, who was the mother of Edward VI and she died shortly after giving birth. He then married Anne of Cleves by proxy and when he met her he decided he did not like her, and they divorced, she was friends with Henry for the rest of his life and was present at court often. He then married Catherine Howard, ultimately he accused her of treason and adultery and she was beheaded. Lastly, you have Catherine Parr, who outlived Henry. The poem we are taught in school is, Divorce, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. (this is not a snarky comment! just wanted to share :) )

Is the history counterpart facts convinced the witch hunt thing was common in New England back in the day?

Long ago there was ever indeed a witch trial here in our state, Connecticut before it even got discovered in Salem, which was JUST nearby the City of Boston. This was even bigger and the effects of the witch hunters are still reeling to this day, present day.

It's not bigger than The Dictionary of Cultural Literacy lol

Thanks for the great video! Really looking forward to a full video on the Salem Witch Trials! Such an interesting subject when you start learning about how their property laws at the time were written - a lot of the accusations stemmed from family rivalries and land disputes. Also, they jailed a 4 year-old girl for like 9 months that was accused of witchcraft! Crazy!
