Henry VIII | Changed the course of England with his lust.
Henry VIII succeeded his father, Henry VII as the second Tudor monarch. Henry’s six wives and marriages were driven as much by a need for sons as infatuation. In order. his wives were Catherine or Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Kathryn Howard and Katherine Parr. Two ended by execution, and ultimately caused a schism with Rome and the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Parliament proclaimed Henry head of the Church in England (later Church of England).

Miniatura de Ana Bolena antes de morir, por el artista George S. Stuart. Antes de ser decapitada, se arrodilló en posición vertical (en las ejecuciones al estilo francés, con una espada, no había ningún bloque para apoyar la cabeza). El esgrimidor fue tan considerado con Ana que dijo, «¿Dónde está mi espada?» y luego la degolló, para que ella pensara que tenía todavía unos momentos más para vivir y no sabría que la espada estaba en camino.
