We have heard a lot of things around Henry VIII, but here we have the whole story of him – till now.

Henry was born 28th of June 1491, in Palace of Placentia in Greenwich. He was the third child of King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. But only three of his seven brothers and sisters grew up, -Arthur, Margaret and Mary. Henry was appointed to Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and constable of Dover Castle in 1493. He became the duke of York the year after. He got an excellent education from the best private teachers and since Arthur would be King, Henry would get a carrier in the church. But when his brother died in 1502, Henry was the Thornebe. He was a good athlete, and he liked hunting and tennis. He is also interested in Music, and he have written song lyrics and music. He was tall and had bright red hair and beard.

He became king when he was 17 years old, and he also became Lord of Cornwall and Prince of Wales too. Then his dad tried to get a alliance between England and Spain through a marriage, and suggested that Henry could marry the widow after Arthur. There was many problems with this, but in the end they found out of it. So, 14 months after her first man death, she married Henry. In February 18th 1816, Henry and Catherine of Aragon got a daughter, named Mary.

But then Henry was in love with an another lady, Anne Boleyn. He got divorced from Chatrine so he could marry Anne. But the head of the Catholic church in Rome, the Pope, didn't allow it. So Henry actually built his own church in England, and then got divorced. Then he married Anne Boleyn in 1533, and later that year she gave birth to a girl. Her name became Elizabeth. But soon, Henry accused Anne for meeting other men! So Henry got her executed in 1536.

Only 11 days after the execution of Anne Boleyn, he got married to Jane Seymour. This was his third wife! And in 1537 she gave birth to a son. This boy will one day become our king after his father. Jane died 12 days after the birth to the son, Edward. Henry now is in great happiness, he finally got the son he wanted.

So now we hope Edward will be a healthy boy, and that he some day will be our great king. But who is going to raise Edward? Will Henry find the love of his life? Well, we'll see.
