Henry VIII of England (Tudor Line)

Henry VIII of England was born on 28 June 1491 to Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, originally a second son was pushed to the position of prince of Wales upon the death of his brother Arthur. He later married Catherine of Aragon, daughter of Ferdinand II and his former sister-in-law throw marriage to Arthur. When his father died he becomed king with a constant ambition to have a son. This seemed unreal as Catherine had 3 childern either miscarried or they died soon after. But 2 childern survived: the heir Henry IX and Princess Mary. His court was a battle field for his favour as the families such as Boleyns, Cromwells, Howards want to have a friend in him. Henry VIII was a diplomat who had relations with Scotland, Spain, Holy Roman Empire and France, but it couldn't help him when he fell of a horse in 1533 during a battle when he was helping the infant Robert IV to keep the scottish throne. It was a cause of a leg wound which was cured in such a way it ended in infection that finally let to his death not long after their 51st birthday. The kingdom was inherited by Henry who went for a rather different way, he was a user of the dagger and is blamed for many royal deaths.
