Henry VIII

Basics:
According to Wikipedia, Henry VIII (1491–1547) was King of England and Lord of Ireland, later King of Ireland and claimant to the Kingdom of France, from April 21, 1509, until his death. Henry was the second monarch of the House of Tudor and a significant figure in the history of the English monarchy, separating the Anglican Church from Roman authority and establishing the English monarch as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. Henry also oversaw the legal union of England and Wales.

Pros:
King. of. England.
Accomplished author, poet, and musician
Skilled hunter and athlete

He might have you beheaded
Looks like this in real life (at 18, then middle-age)

you see why I'm more of a 'real life' kind of girl rather than an on-screen dreamer? Definitely on-screen is a better vision but totally fiction!

Meems- I think I would rather live in the make believe world! ;)

Arissa Mae said...

Not TOTALLY fiction, Meems...or why would such men inspire such fiction? There must be SOME truth to the story...

But when it comes to appearances, I might be with Jane on this one!
