Partly done I converted clauses separated by semi-colons into several sentences. However, you have been pretty vague about what needs fixing. Is there anything else? Peaceray (talk) 00:53, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is a random reference to a doctor named Dewhurst and his speculation without evidence that AB had imaginary pregnancies. This reference should be removed as it is biased and inconsistent with all other evidences research.
This speculation dismisses the fertility issues faced by the couple and places blame on AB despite what we know about H8’s fertility before and after AB. Research shows almost all repeat miscarriages are caused by the male. Actual research re H8 and the stillbirths/miscarriages experienced by all his wives/mistresses indicates that he was the cause of fertility issues. Across all his marriages there was a 70% stillbirth/miscarriage rate and a low impregnation rate overall.
example research
”The reproductive and nutritional history of King Henry VIII indicates that 70 percent of the legitimate pregnancies attributed to Henry and his six wives resulted in miscarriage or stillbirth. By comparison, only 10 percent of the recorded pregnancies of the thirty-one noblemen closely associated with Henry had the same outcomes. Henry’s reproductive health likely contributed to the fertility problems for which his wives took the blame. The disregard of male infertility in Henry’s case may offer a clue to the reasons for the under-reporting of male reproductive health, then and now, to the detriment of both men and women.”
Dewhurst's evidence is online, here, as linked from the article. It comes from Medical History, a peer-reviewed academic publication of standing; "blame" isn't mentioned. To assist, the clickable link to Shrimplin at al is here. It's from MIT Press and is also peer-reviewed. "Blame" is mentioned five times.--AntientNestor (talk) 15:13, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
