Tyburn's definitions

George W. Bush

Controversial President of the United States of America. Succeeded Bill Clinton and defeated Al Gore in the 2000 election. He is known for his strong religious convictions, initiating the "War On Terror", creating the PATRIOT Act, unusual speaking manner (Called "Bushisms" by some) and foreign policy choices which a large number of people disagree with. Unfortunately his actions have given Westerners, Americans and Christians a bad name. And some, such as Michael Moore, have gone as far as to say this his 2000 election victory was rigged.
Also known for his close, much ridiculed, relationship with former Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Henry VIII

King of England. He is known for marrying seven women. Two of which were beheaded for a variety of reasons. He also attempted to remove the Catholic Church from England through widespread destruction, looting and executions. The greatest threat to his rule was a revolt know as "The Pilgrimage of Grace" who were led by Robert Aske. Due to Henry VIII's ruthlessness and powers of deception the ringleaders were eventually rounded up and executed.
Won the Battle of The Spurs against the French and declared "Defender of The Faith" by the Pope, a title that Monarchs in England still hold to this day.
He is remembered as a tyrant but arguably did much to add legitimacy to the crown after years of bloody civil war between the Lancastrians and the Yorkists.
