random thought bc I've been listening to Six on repeat: the queens claim that the only reason they're remembered is because of Henry, but would Henry be one of the most iconic and well-known English monarchs if not for them?
#like his defining trait is sorta 'bloke who had six wives who he treated pretty badly all told' plus the whole church of england thing
#which arguably would have happened anyway in some sense since protestantism was sweeping europe but is generally credited to him wanting
#a divorce whether thats accurate or not
#yes he was quite charismatic etc but there were plenty of others who were too or at least interesting
#like nobody talks about the guy who was Probably murdered in a framed hunting accident
#or the one who was executed by having a red hot poker rammed up his arse
#or the one who dies after gorging himself on strawberries and eel pie iirc
#ok fine maybe i only remember the memorable daeths but you get the point
#the six wives are what made henry viii significant is what i'm saying
