"Divorced, executed, died, divorced, executed, survived." This nursery rhyme, crafted to recall Henry VIII's six wives, not only aids in memory but also underscores the significant role played by the women in his life in shaping his legacy. While his numerous marriages set a record among British monarchs, they do not singularly define him. The true essence of Henry VIII's character and the tumultuous era of his reign is better illuminated through an exploration of the relationships with the men who surrounded him. Despite the noteworthy marital history, it is the dynamics with these men that provide a more profound insight into the life of England's most renowned monarch.
