- Henry VIII is the fifth tutorial available to the player. This tutorial is for the experienced player and sets them in a world where they must defend against Scottish raids.
- Henry VIII (1491-1547) was king of England, infamous for his many marriages. His conflicts with the Catholic church when attempting to have his marriage to Catherine of Aragon annulled led to the establishment of the Church of England. The portrait by Hans Holbein captures the popular image of the later Henry: bearded, overweight, and arrogant.
- Besides his six marriages, Henry VIII is known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. In "Foreign Affairs", Peter teaches Chris and Meg about historical figures. A cutaway depicts Henry VIII in bed with one of his wives and notes than when he has her beheaded he'll keep her head.
- Henry was studied by the 23rd century historian Alexander Lazarus, who created an android, with the psi-clone, and imbued it with Henry's personality and history. This android, like other androids of Lazarus, created a city on Gamma Alpha V. He was likely destroyed in the explosion of Gamma Alpha V on Stardate 10:26.3. (TOS comic: "The Legacy of Lazarus")
- The man with six wives. Every British person can remember what happened to them -- "divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived". Actually the "spare" to his elder brother Arthur, he ended up in line to the throne after Arthur died (marrying his brother's widow, Catherine of Aragon, the first 'Spanish' Princess, the realms of Aragon and Castille having been united (temporarily, people thought) by the marriage of her parents). He was only 18 when he came to the throne and engaged in some Wacky Fratboy Hijinx in his early years as King (he and some male buddies once burst into the Queen's bedchamber dressed as Robin Hood and his Merry Men). A redhead, he does remind one of his contemporary namesake, Prince Henry of Wales (Prince Harry).
- Henry VIII was an irritable, foul-tempered, nasty brute with ginger hair and an 'orrid beard, which was a typical look for sex obsessive men. He was most famous for having 4 headed wives and 2 headless wives. Despite this he still managed to get 18 women, because THIS IS SPARTA of the magnificent girth and length of his wealth, power, stomach and codpiece. Henry VIII was addicted to Viagra cookies, which he believed would increase his chances of having a son. This has been noted as a contributing factor to both his large ... ahem ... cod-piece and XXL stomach. Henry VIII was a well educated individual, studying many languages like Welsh, y Gymraeg, Cymraeg, Insular Britonic, Walsh, Walch, Welch and Wealh-specan. He also studied musical instruments, Latin swearwords and telecommunications.
- The Seventh Doctor claimed to have helped the Tudors with their problems with aphids. He maintained that Henry might have written "Greenfly" instead of "Greensleeves" if it hadn't been for him. (PROSE: Tragedy Day) Before he met Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, the First Doctor once argued with Henry VIII, so Henry threw a parson's nose at him. The Doctor threw it back. This argument was actually intentional of the Doctor, so he would be sentenced to the Tower of London, where the TARDIS was located. (TV: "Strangers in Space")

| abstract | - King Henry VIII is the real-life King who ruled from 1509 to 1547.
- The man with six wives. Every British person can remember what happened to them -- "divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived". Actually the "spare" to his elder brother Arthur, he ended up in line to the throne after Arthur died (marrying his brother's widow, Catherine of Aragon, the first 'Spanish' Princess, the realms of Aragon and Castille having been united (temporarily, people thought) by the marriage of her parents). He was only 18 when he came to the throne and engaged in some Wacky Fratboy Hijinx in his early years as King (he and some male buddies once burst into the Queen's bedchamber dressed as Robin Hood and his Merry Men). A redhead, he does remind one of his contemporary namesake, Prince Henry of Wales (Prince Harry). He was far more extravagant than his miserly father -- responsible for quite possibly the most extravagant diplomatic summit in history, the Field of the Cloth of Gold. There he proceeded to have a wrestling match with the King of France, François I. Though very showy, it didn't accomplish much. Henry restored English control over most of Ireland by a system of 'surrender and regrant', bringing Ireland back under proper royal jurisdiction -- prior to this point English power in Ireland had been in decline for centuries and was purely nominal outside the immediate surrounds of Dublin, an area known as 'The Pale'. (Yes, this is the origin of the phrase "beyond the Pale".) Once this process was complete he declared himself King of all Ireland in 1542, a title English (and later British) monarchs would hold for four centuries, and still hold in part i.e. Northern Ireland (the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, it's called). He's most famous for establishing royal control over the Church in England because he wanted a divorce (technically an annulment- as in, he insisted the wedding was invalid, after more than 20 years of what was, by all accounts, a loving relationship) so he could marry his mistress. That's the gist of it, anyway. Anyway, annulments were fairly common and it didn't seem like it would be a big deal. Problem was, Catherine's nephew Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Castile and Aragon (i.e. Spain) had been fighting with Francis I of France and Clement VII, The Pope, over northern Italy. After winning the latest war against France and the Vatican, Charles' mercenaries had run amok, sacking Rome and taking the Pope hostage. This was sufficient to intimidate Clement into stalling over the annulment for a further six years to avoid provoking anyone. Looking back on the issue, it almost seems as if the Pope wanted Henry to take care of it himself: Henry was only excommunicated (cut off from the Church) in 1537, three years after he made himself head of the English Church (i.e. when it was clear that he had left the Catholic fold and wasn't coming back). On an interesting sidetrack, Henry was actually a devoted Catholic, in private at least. Working with Thomas Cranmer -- a famous theologian and one of his best servants -- in 1521 he published an essay ('In Defence of the Seven Sacraments') attacking Martin Luther's teachings, for which the Pope gave him the title Defender of the Faith -- a title the British monarchy has retained to this day. After seven years of legal stalling tactics, Henry decided he'd had enough and outlawed the Pope's authority in 1533 to turn his divorce settlement over to his chum, Thomas Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury, making himself Supreme Head of the Church in England in 1534. A few years later the monasteries of England were dissolved and all their lands and property taken, not because he didn't like them but because he liked the money more. Most of the money was promptly spent on a series of forts and another war with France. Some money also went to founding a cannon foundry to provide cannon for his armies and a new institution, the Royal Navy. The formal dissolution of the smaller Monasteries in 1536 worked together with bad harvests and an inheritance tax on the nobility to prompt a huge uprising by just about everyone in the North of England ('The Pilgrimage of Grace') later that same year. This was stopped by Henry appearing to concede to the rebels' demands, not having enough troops to put them down by force. When a further uprising began, Henry VIII considered himself absolved of the whole deal and brutally retaliated. The leader of the rebellion, Robert Aske, was sentenced to death and begged to be fully dead before being dismembered. Henry agreed and instead hanged him in chains-- that is sticking him in a gibbet while still alive. After divorcing Catherine he married Anne Boleyn (who was very clearly pregnant at the ceremony). She gave birth to Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth I) and made two unsuccessful attempts to produce a male heir. Anne was a very controversial figure in the court, apparently more willing to argue with her husband and Cromwell than either man liked. She was beheaded for adultery on trumped up charges once Henry tired of her. It didn't help that after giving him a healthy daughter (Elizabeth I), Anne miscarried a baby boy, Henry's longed for heir. He then married Jane Seymour who had a son, the future king Edward VI. However she died after childbirth, which caused Henry to sink into a deep depression from which some believe he never fully recovered. Henry's fourth marriage was a political one to Anne of Cleves, arranged by Cromwell to bring England closer to the Protestant Schmalkaldic league in case of a war with Francis and/or Charles. Rumour has it that Henry's court painter had portrayed her as misleadingly beautiful, but it's possible that Henry's idea of beauty, being a King and all, probably matched our concept of Hollywood Homely. Once England's enemies started fighting each other again the alliance fell apart and Henry had another annulment for his latest unconsummated marriage. Anne gained a good settlement out of it and lived the rest of her life unmarried but quite happy as Henry's "beloved sister" in England. Henry's next wife was Catherine Howard. At this point, his health was declining due to his weight (over 140 kilos/300 lbs) as well a nasty ulcerated wound on his leg and possibly gout. She had several affairs and was eventually executed for adultery. Catherine Parr, a long time friend, was the sixth and last wife. Henry died before she did. Generally speaking, historians and the establishment dislike him (see the page quote from Dickens) while he remains quite popular with the English people--largely because he, or rather his famous portrait by Holbein, is what people invariably picture when they think of an interesting King. The fact that the British history syllabus emphasises the Tudors probably helps too. While he undoubtedly left England a much more powerful, wealthy and important nation than when he came to the throne, and though English protestants and others give him props for founding the Church of England (albeit for acknowledged selfish reasons), the fact that he built that wealth on looting the church monastries and Lords he didn't like (and bare in mind, the church at this time was largely responsible for education and health care, though he did reform the apothecaries to make up for this to an extent), combined with his bluebeard tendencies (granted, he only killed two of his wives, but thats still pretty bad), the butchering of many of his closest advisors, ministers and friends, and his disturbingly large body count (somewhere in the region of 10,000 people were executed during his reign, for heresy or trumped-up charges) and his habit of making enemies of every power in Europe for reasons of his own vanity, do not make him an endearing figure to most historical researchers.

(PROSE: God Send Me Well to Keep) The Doctor received six wedding invitations from Henry VIII. (COMIC: The Gift) In 1544 Henry VIII employed a 22nd century time travelling thief named Lord Volta to steal riches from the future for him, not realizing futuristic money would be useless in his own time. He met Vastra, Jenny Flint, and Strax when they followed Volta through a time portal and landed in his court. He was entranced with Vastra's scales and proposed to her, but when she declined and Strax offered himself in exchange, Henry VIII became enraged and ordered Strax beheaded. (PROSE: The Tudor Engagement) However, the Seventh Doctor later claimed that he had never met him. (PROSE: Tragedy Day) The Eighth Doctor claimed that Henry VIII had mistaken him for a jester. (AUDIO: Terror Firma) The Tenth Doctor later mentioned having dinner with him. (PROSE: Revenge of the Judoon) Rory Williams accidentally dropped a mobile phone charger in one of Henry's en suites. (TV: A Town Called Mercy) While on a side-trip in the TARDIS on her wedding anniversary to Rory Williams, Amy Pond accidentally married Henry. (TV: The Power of Three) At the time of the Reformation King Henry VIII declared himself as the head of the English church. Under his daughter Elizabeth I, priest and followers of the Catholic Church found themselves being persecuted. However the Catholics built secret rooms and passages in their houses so that the priests could hold their services in secret and escape. That was why the St Agnes Abbey also had some secret passages. (PROSE: Eye of the Gorgon)

- Henry VIII was an irritable, foul-tempered, nasty brute with ginger hair and an 'orrid beard, which was a typical look for sex obsessive men. He was most famous for having 4 headed wives and 2 headless wives. Despite this he still managed to get 18 women, because THIS IS SPARTA of the magnificent girth and length of his wealth, power, stomach and codpiece. Henry VIII was addicted to Viagra cookies, which he believed would increase his chances of having a son. This has been noted as a contributing factor to both his large ... ahem ... cod-piece and XXL stomach. Henry VIII was a well educated individual, studying many languages like Welsh, y Gymraeg, Cymraeg, Insular Britonic, Walsh, Walch, Welch and Wealh-specan. He also studied musical instruments, Latin swearwords and telecommunications. In 1992 Henry invented the Atomic bomb and managed to blow up half of London and killed 7 million French tourists. Also, the sweating disease was just one of his tricks he played on his people when he wanted to go be alone in one of his private castles. One of his less well known acts was cannonising people. Some of Henry VIII's better known accomplishments include separating the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church by building a wall between them, building Cambridge University single-handedly, recording with the Beatles at Westminster Abbey, marrying 18 women (including his foxy sister-in-law), enslaving England uniting Wales with England, and getting a trophy for winning at cricket. In later life, Henry VIII ran our of Viagra and started eating more pomegranates; he eventfully ate so many that he got pomegranate intoxication which led to his death. He attempted to become an actor, though he quit after not receiving role for his first audition in the Star Wars series. He auditioned to play Jabba the Hutt, but lost the role to Drew Barrymore. Henry VIII made his money from Hustling Pool at the local Pool Hall, and killing (and eventually eating) his wives, getting the insurance money, and then buying a new wife. Once his new wife either became "too blah", or bore a baby foolish enough to be born female, Henry VIII had her killed (accidentally, of course) and bought another one with the earnings. If he was kind, he got a man with a sword to kill them. This, combined with Galileo's love of cheap hookers, also led to the sharp increase in popularity of the mail-order bride industry in the early 1500's. Eating his dead wives has also been assumed to be part of the reason why Henry VIII had such a large stomach. One of the household staff reported seeing Henry take off his bra at one point and saw the faces of all 18 wives, protruding from his nipples and talking to one another. The member of staff was quickly eaten and digested disposed of. A report for the missing man was issued but the local police simply dismissed the issue and said the man had probably wandered into the botanical gardens and had been cannibalised by the living penises. Henry had three children who survived infancy. His only legitimate son Edward, when he was nine years old, decided to switch places with a porpoise and drowned soon after. His eldest daughter Bloody Mary was a pyromaniac vampire who enjoyed burning Protestants and eating them afterwards - a trait she apparently inherited from her father (She also inherited her enormous penis from Henry). Mary was eventually defeated by her half-sister, and became a ghost who haunts mirrors and has taken to killing girls at slumber parties, setting rabid kittens on them that eat her victims alive...penis first. Henry's youngest daughter, Elizabeth, became Queen Elizabeth I - she inherited her father's gingeriness but not his enormous mojo Mofo. He also had lots of kiddies who died in the womb or who were eated when Henry was hungry illegitimate. Like Henry Fitzroy.
