He enjoyed, amongst other things, to hunt.
In his younger days as King, Henry VIII liked to show off his skills in Wrestling, which he was quite good at. There is a true story of how he challenged a much physically stronger King of France, his historical enemy, to a wrestling match on neutral territory in Northern France and won. He also had a love of hunting the boars(wild pigs) that roamed the forests of the time. Henry also liked to chase the ladies at every possible opportunity which accounts for him marrying seven times in the hope of bearing a legitimite son and heir.

∙ 14y agoHenry VIII would have had plenty of activities for his spare, some of them rather cruel to our modern sensibilities. For example, bear baiting, bull baiting, dog fighting, cockerel fighting, hunting with dogs and hawks, jousting, tennis, theatre, card games, dice, Board Games such as Chess, dancing (Henry VIII and Elizabeth I loved dancing, and both danced well), music (again something Henry VIII and Elizabeth I excelled at). Henry VIII had a famous jester called Will Sommers, so he must have had a sense of humour at one time or another! Will Sommers was reputed to be one of the only people who could make Mary I laugh.
