'''Henry VIII''' (June 28, 1491 – January 28, 1547) was the king of [[England]] and lord of [[Ireland]] from April 22, 1509 until his death. A larger-than-life figure and one of England's most famous monarchs, he was the second monarch of the [[Tudor dynasty]], succeeding his father [[Henry VII]], and was one of the most powerful and formative rulers in British history.  Henry was a powerfully built, athletic, attractive, domineering but charismatic man, educated and accomplished.  He was the last English king to rule with absolute power. His need for a male heir to perpetuate the Tudor dynasty led to his having six marriages.

It was under Henry's children and successors, Edward VI and Elizabeth I, that the [[English Reformation]] was fashioned as a compromise between the [[Lutheran]]s and [[Calvinist]]s on the one hand and the [[Catholic]]s on the other. Nevertheless, Henry's famous break with the Papacy facilitated later events affecting the English church.
