He is the King of England and beings a relationship with Mary at first. However, he then pursues Anne who refuses to begin a relationship with him until he makes her Queen. King Henry VIII is tempted by this and eventually makes her his Queen.
However, he later has her executed after accusing her of committing adultery with others.
He is the absolute ruler in England and the brightest star in his court. In his youth, Henry was a handsome man with a powerful frame and fine physique. He is extremely vain and takes great pride in his shapely calves. As Henry ages, he starts to suffer from a chronic leg infection, which turns him into a limping invalid. Henry’s advancing years make him impatient to have a male heir. After his break from the Roman Catholic church, Henry becomes the absolute ruler of England, in both spiritual and temporal matters. His absolute power, coupled with the pain of illness and his frustration of not having a son, turn the once enlightened king into an unscrupulous tyrant. In his later years, Henry becomes a blood-thirsty, power-hungry despot. Henry is also an notorious womanizer. Both Katherine and Anne suffered immense unhappiness as a result of his unrepentant philandering.
