I continue to find Henry VIII (and all of the Tudors) extremely fascinating. In truth, Henry VIII was not always a fat, bloated, gouty-legged tyrant who liked to chop of the heads of wives (and anyone else) who displeased him.
Although this is how most of us picture him, he was, at one time, young and handsome.



I doubt, though, that he EVER looked as hot as Jonathan Rhys Meyers!

And, hey, if he did nothing else, he gave the world his daughter, the magnificent Elizabeth I.
