∙ 14y agoHenry the VIII is known for having six wives and having two of them (Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard) killed. When he wanted an annulment from Catherine of Aragon, the Pope refused him. Henry was desperate for a son and Catherine was getting older, so he really wanted to marry Anne Boleyn. When he was refused the annulment by Rome, he separated from the Catholic Church and formulated the Church of England, which he made himself head of.

∙ 11y agoHe had multiple wives who would not bare him a son. He put much effort into divorcing his first wife (she was actually promised to his dead brother that was supposed to be king.) He executed two of his Lord Chancellors, notably Thomas More and at least one of his wives. Henry was also very fat.
