King Henry was a scoundrel in all ways. He messed around with the Church of England, got rid of monasteries and split the Catholic Church from the Church of England. He caused seeming havoc wherever he went. More than that he was a horny scoundrel marrying up to 6 wives and when bored of them had them executed. In amongst all this activity he also had numerous affairs. It was said that this bombastic man and King finally died from obesity and probably sexual exhaustion.
