The lusty king who made Valentine's Day a national holiday in England was King Henry VIII. He declared February 14th a day of celebration in the 1530s, coinciding with his desire to promote romantic love, despite his well-known disdain for monks and religious figures. This declaration helped to popularize the holiday, which has since evolved into a celebration of love and affection.
