Congratulations King Henry

It was 500 years ago that Henry VIII became the king of England at the tender age of 17. His rule was a tumultuous era marked by the untimely endings of most of his marriages and a split with the Vatican that lead to the separation of the Church of England from Rome. Henry certainly left his mark on his kingdom.
