The figure of this ruler is extremely controversial. To his contemporaries, Henry VIII of the Tudor dynasty was a great king. An idealistic monarch, he expanded Parliament, founded the Royal Navy, and modernized medical education. He composed music and poetry, loved jousting, and patronized the arts. In his younger years, the educated and gifted prince was considered the embodiment of many virtues, and he had all the qualities to turn his reign into a true triumph of the English Renaissance.
However, it remains in history primarily as a time of dangerous intrigue and bloodshed. Henry broke off relations with the Pope and founded his own church, ruined monasteries, beheaded two of his wives and banished two others. He died a suspicious, obese, ailing tyrant who aged prematurely. Yet nearly five centuries have passed and his memory lives on. Isn't it time for the king who changed England's polity forever to put in a good word for himself?
