Finding Henry - Reformation hero or villain
Henry VIII was not born to be King yet he acceded to the throne before his 18th birthday. Married six times: four times for love, once for affection and once for duty, he had three legitimate children. A Renaissance Prince when young, his divorces and subsequent order to send two of his wives to the executioner's block made him the most notorious King England has ever witnessed.

Tudor Women

Field of Cloth of Gold
In June of 1520, two Kings, Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France, each with a retinue of 6,000 nobles, courtiers and churchmen, met in such splendour in northern France. Each king trying to match and outdo the other. No expense was spared, tents and pavilions made of so much gold cloth erected to house all the nobles and courtiers, that the event became known as the Field of Cloth of Gold.
