Henry VIII, the enigmatic and ruthless monarch of the Tudor dynasty, reigned England with an iron fist for over three turbulent decades. Known as the "Tudor Tyrant," his legacy is marred by an unprecedented reign of terror and oppression. A devout Catholic at the outset, Henry's break from Rome in pursuit of an annulment from his first wife led to the establishment of the Church of England and the brutal suppression of dissent. With a penchant for absolute power, he dissolved monasteries, executed those who opposed him, including two of his six wives, and left behind a trail of broken lives and a nation forever changed by his tyrannical rule.
