Normal speed, not too fast, not too slow either
Henry VIII is one of the best known monarchs in English history. He is famous for his ferocious appetite, for food, wine, power and women. His reign lasted nearly 38 years (from 1509 to 1547) and was marked by radical changes to the English Constitution, expansion of royal powers and the breaking with the Catholic Church through the English Reformation. But he is perhaps most famous for having six wives. Though married to his first wife Catherine of Aragon for nearly twenty five years, Henry’s next five marriages lasted less than that combined. Two of the marriages were declared annulled while two of his wives were beheaded, another of Henry’s wife died after giving birth to his only son while his final wife, Catherine Parr, outlived him.
