He grew up as "the second son" so did not have any real teachings on how to be King. As an adorable child with 'golden red ringlets' he was very spoiled and got everything he asked for. WHen his older brother Arthur died, Henry had to become King. He was considered to be very handsome as he was tall and muscular however when he became injured he could no longer exercise and became very fat. He always liked to be called handsome and always wanted to be with younger ladies. It was like he was trying to grow up. After the said injury he felt useless and from this and the pain he had a horrible temper.
