it is interesting that they show Henry, at the time of his marriage, as an overweight man, although back then he was tall, slim and very handsome. It is much later that he became obese.
@ rockinamber18 you couldnt just adopt a heir to the throne. Maybe you should look into the life and times of Henry 8th and his wives. The reformation and politics of the time.
@Serg223 Yes, especially when supposedly he wasn't always that big. Henry VIII as a youthful young adult was apparently very athletic and only became fat and lazy after a major jousting accident ruined his abilities.
@rocnasty8 rough hair shirt is a shirt composed of coarse animal hair, such as goat, intended to be worn next to the skin, keeping the wearer in a state of discomfort and constant awareness of the shirt's presence.
That anyone would consider him a hero, or idolize him in any fashion is a sign of the profound sickness and corruption of society. Our greatest heroes are those who show the greatest capacity for murder. We idolize genocidal monsters like Julius Caesar; a man who exterminated entire nations merely for political gain. The only reason Hitler is not yet a hero, is that he lost, and his horrors still exist within living memory. In another century or two, I expect even that will change.
@gurumagoo Dude chill out. Yes Henry were a man who killed many but he was also desperate for a male heir and when you are desperate you dp crazy things.
@gurumagoo You could also blame Showtime's Glamourization of him. Maybe if 10-20 years down the road, they do a movie or show glamourizing Hitler and making him hot, it might happen.
Henry VIII was a murderous psychopath. That seems to have been the trend among European monarchs of that period. This is apparent from his absolute selfishness, callous lack of empathy, extreme narcissism, and his complete lack of inhibition or moral restraint of any kind. Other people, and even his country itself were mere objects. In the mind of such a monster, other human beings exist only to serve him and his appetites; and can be used and casually discarded at will.
In later life he became morbidly obese and his health suffered; his public image is frequently depicted as one of a lustful, egotistical, harsh, and insecure king.
His desire to provide England with a male heir - which stemmed partly from personal vanity and partly because he believed a daughter would be unable to consolidate the Tudor Dynasty and the fragile peace that existed following the Wars of the Roses - led to the two things that Henry is remembered for: his wives, and the English Reformation that made England a mostly Protestant nation.
Besides his six marriages, Henry VIII is known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Catholic Church. Henry's struggles with Rome led to the separation of the Church of England from papal authority, the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and establishing himself as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. Yet he remained a believer in core Catholic theological teachings, even after his excommunication from the Catholic Church.
@SuperGreatSphinx - Yes, his role is, too - made a head of the English Church - by English Parliament which passed Act of Supremacy - this role formerly was held by the Pope.
Henry VIII (28 June 1491 - 28 January 1547) was King of England from 21 April 1509 until his death. He was Lord, and later King of Ireland and claimant to the Kingdom of France. Henry was the second monarch of the House of Tudor, succeeding his father, Henry VII.
I believe that the passage in levitivcus does not forbid the marrying of one's brother's widow. in contex it is a rather exhaustive list of all those relatives with whom you should not have sex with, including your brother's wife, while said brothe still lives
this passage was lifted out of context when henry wanted his divorce 20 years later, but even Martin Luther, whose support was sought, refused to give it, for this reason I surmise. Henry's divorce had no biblical warrant
Henry viii has done more to ruin Christianity than M. Luther, although there was sin on the Catholic side as well. He Started his own "church" on the sin of divorce. (this is why we have homosexual/lesbian "bishops" in his church today). By the way, Miss Howard, even after marring Henry never converted to his "religion". Queen Elizabeth is now in charge of this entity. What a farce. It all started with this guy who deid of syphlis. What a proud church tradition.
@bheadh I suggest you read wikipedia's entry on 'gay bishops'. You'll soon discover precedents centuries before Henry was born (and incidentally it seems to be all the rage in America right now.). As for him dying of syphilis - theres no evidence of this at all (though his Catholic contemporary Francis was indeed syphilitic)
@chrisstevensjunior yeah but he still was a pig that he only had the hungry eye for anne boylen and he was getting bored of catherine from the 22 year marriage. but anne boylen didn't deserve to have her head chopped off because she was only able to produce a daughter and the other two miscarriage. rumors say that one of her miscarriages she had was going to be a son. but of course henry got bored of anne and spread rumors and off with anne boylen's head =w=
@rockinamber18 why didnt he give up the girls for adoption instead of chopping his wives heads off i prefer sons and im a little fan of him but i wouldnt do anything he did...
HOW can you possibly even consider Henry VII's reign to be a failiure? He were to introduce such efficent tax systems whilst enhancing and contolling such volitile Nobles. He was to bring stability to the country when no other King/Nobel could. He managed foreign policy to a very high standard with the circumstances that were to his desposal. Henry VII were to raise a country from civil war to a country with justice, security and stability. Whist Henry VIII were to do the opposite! Failure?

it is strange that they do not use the other verse in leviticus which states that a man should TAKE his brothers wife and have children for his brother to continue his seed. very strange how these folks just pick an choose what they want to base a fact on.
