Caption

Henry VIII, King of England, 1525 (1824). Henry (1491-1547) succeeded his father, Henry VII, in 1509. Obsessed with passing the throne on to a male heir, he had six wives in the course of his reign, none of whom provided him with a son who survived. In divorcing his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, in 1533, Henry severed the English church from Rome. From Ancient Armour, by Samuel Rush Mayrick, 1824.
