Henry VIII from a US Perspective

Julian Coy

3rd July 2009

Time Magazine has published Ten things you didn’t know about Henry VIII. The article is rather fussily put together, but there is some good information buried in there (e.g. Henry had 5 sets of bagpipes, he suggested that those who committed murder by poison be boiled to death, he banned betting after his soldiers lost too much money.) It also gives you a good insight into how America views him - are there any noticeable differences between this and the British perspective?
