(1491-1547) A King of England who began as a handsome, sweet-natured prince and became a fat, bloated, lecherous, ruthless, narcissistic tyrant whose split from the Catholic faith to divorce his first wife and marry his second can be felt today.
He married six times, first to Katherine of Aragon (divorced), then to Anne Boleyn (beheaded), then to Jane Seymour (died), then to Anne of Cleves (divorced), then to Katherine Howard (beheaded), and finally to Katherine Parr (survived).
To his credit, he legitimized the crown after decades of the War of the Roses (warring between the two branches of the royal family), but he is remembered today for his lechery and for abusing his wives and his two daughters in a futile effort for a healthy son; only his daughter Elizabeth I would be his saving grace.

After the death of Jane Seymour from childbirth, a new wife was sought for Henry VIII, reaching across Europe, but his reputation preceded him; he chose 16-year-old Christina of Milan first, but the widowed duchess (a great-niece of Katherine of Aragon) refused, saying that she would be happy to marry him if she had two heads. Henry next chose Marie de Guise, another young widow, since "as a big man he needed a big wife"; she rejected his offer and quipped that she may have been a big woman but she had a very little neck (in reference to Anne Boleyn) and she wasted little time in marrying Henry's nephew, James V of Scotland. Anne of Cleves became the first pick as other candidates made excuses or married.
Henry VIII seemed to have a liking for redheads named Katherine, since he married three such women.
Messenger: (to a group of young noblewomen) "His Royal Majesty Henry VIII seeketh another wife."
Young noblewomen: (screaming in horror and stampeding)

Get the Henry VIII mug.A German or Irish name meaning "Hero" or "Ruler of the home". Henry's are some of the sweetest people once you get to know them. They are also great friends, as they stand up to those who mess with others and would gladly take a bullet for someone they love. Henry's like to mess around with others, especially if they feel close to you and they care about you deeply.
Most Henry's have a troubled past and seem to daze off at random times, reflecting on that past.

Get the hooray henry mug.John W Henry is the cheapskate owner of Liverpool Football Club and the Boston Red Sox. Instead of putting money into Liverpool’s team he’d rather buy himself his 50th yacht. Usually goes behind fans’ backs in search of more greed with the prime example being the European Super League, which he only backed out after being slaughtered by the fans, ex players and media.
He has divided the Liverpool fanbase to people who are FSGIN or FSGOUT. FSGIN these days consist of top red weirdos who would rather see the club fail to prove a point against people who are FSGOUT. They’re usually smelly middle aged men with no hair and no teeth, best to ignore them.
He upped ticket prices, furloughed lfc staff during the pandemic, has sold star players in the past and even tried to copyright the name Liverpool. The man has stayed here for too long and the club has outgrown him, he should sell up and stick to baseball and yachts.

LFC Fan 1: “Where’s the money John?”
LFC Fan 2: “He spent it on a new yacht.”
LFC fan 1: “Same old John W Henry, always out for greed.”
