Status Updates From Henry VIII (A Wicked History)

Henry VIII has affected not my life but government. He gave the people of England the realization that we need to set limits on our government officials. When killed or exiled all of his wives, it showed his cruelty and evil. His actions were important because it showed how insecure he was. This shows an example about why democracy is better than monarchy.

Henry VIII received his nickname because he killed or exiled all of his wives. He killed them because they couldn't give him a male heir to the throne. He punished all of them. In actuality, it was his fault that he couldn't have an heir to the throne. The male either brings the X or Y chromosome or boy and girl. Henry VIII was born on June 28, 1491 in Greenwich, England. He is an infamous killer and a bad man.

King Henry VIII was known for becoming a terrible man who beheaded innocent people, but since the beginning of the book, I have noticed that the king has made so many stupid decisions, that may not have seemed stupid at the time. For example, King Henry VIII married at only age 17 because he was sure Catherine was the perfect wife for him, but later on he realized that Catherine wasn't right for him.
