Oh, Henry...

So, I have been learning more and more about Henry VIII over the past couple of years and I find myself at first moving from one extreme to another. At first I feel totally disgusted by him, and then I feel totally fascinated by him. I don't know if I have ever felt this range of emotion regarding a character (Who just happens to have been a real person!). On the one hand I want to dislike him, but on the other hand, I can't get enough of him! The stories about him never seem to end, and it seem as if his exploits should belong to a fictional character other than a real person (A king no less!).

I am on a mission to learn more about Henry...I just can't help myself. I don't think he would mind if I call him Henry. I'm sure he's been called much worse behind his back.
