With only a very weak claim on the English throne (a junior branch of doubtful legitimacy, because it stemmed from the line of John of Gaunt's third marriage), he managed to become king of England, keep the throne and had his son succeed him.
I would say, yes.

∙ 12y agoHenry the VIII typically ate large meals and slept with lots of women. Studies have shown that a good diet and lots of exercise can greatly increase longevity and quality of life. Furthermore, being the King of England and head of his own church, he was able to control pretty much anything he wanted to. Because of this, he was able to build shrines to himself within the churches, and force everyone to worship him in the first true totalitarian society. However, due to his excessive lifestyle and lack of good doctors in England (they had all moved to Romania to avoid taxes) he suffered from severe gout and had to have his legs amputated. This was the downfall of England as all his shrines had to be changed for accuracy's sake and no one was fooled by a legless man pretending to be god.
Thankfully, in a few years his even more excessive and egotistical daughter rose to the throne, changed the laws to allow herself to be on the throne and gave Shakespeare all his best gigs.
