Haha as soon as you mentioned his wives that song started going through my head. I may be 20 years too old to do so really but I love watching horrible histories :p
Oh, um…is there an upper age limit for that show? *deletes DVR* 😉
Love Horrible Histories, have you seen their Dick Turpin/Adam Ant mashup? Very good.
Ooo, I haven’t – I must google that!
Sinfully funny, sweetie! 🙂
Thanks, darling. I do try! 😉
Nicely done!
Thank you, darling. Really Horrible Histories did most of the work. 😉
He was like the Black Widow of dudes.

Henry VIII and his fucked up family is one of my favorite periods of history to study. He makes my family look tame!
The Tudors tarted it up a bit, but either way, it is quite a fascinating period.
