Henry was …. kind of a rock star! He had so much brilliance. Albeit short-lived, now letting the proverbial cat out of the bag. Henry was also a womanizer. He apparently liked or loved great sex; (it’s relatable, right!?!) The thing is that his thing got him in more than a bit of trouble. You see, the real, most likely real reason for the inability to produce a HEALTHY heir was syphilis. Now beyond syphilis, which no one knew about, most likely outside his doctors, they indeed were not bragging about it. Henry comes up with some really radical ideas, marriage, divorce, beheading, repeat; he was noble, remember he married his brother’s wife, and, at least in the beginning, that had to be for a little thing we like to call passion. Im going to go out on a limb and say, at the very least, he was a hopeless or hopeful romantic, possibly more! Henry changes the official Church and religion in England! Henry would have been a rock star if he were born in this century!
Which is why he lands one of my top historical figures I would like to meet and there are a lot of them!
