England's most famous king is now posable! Buy him, or heads will roll.
King Henry VIII is famous for his six wives and his creation of the Church of England. Desperate to father a son, he lost interest in his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, when she impertinently bore him a daughter. When the Pope would not grant the King a divorce, he broke from the Catholic Church, created the C of E, secretly married Anne Boleyn, and later divorced Catherine. (It was a busy time for him.) When he grew tired of Anne, he had her beheaded. His next wife, Jane Seymour, died giving birth to his only son. He divorced his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, and beheaded his fifth wife, Catherine Howard. His sixth wife, Catherine Parr, survived him--a considerable achievement. Henry VIII is often pictured eating a drumstick, and reportedly was so large that he had to be hoisted up stairs. | |
