Henry VIII

King Henry VIII of England ruled from 1509 until his death in 1547. He’s most known for breaking away from the Catholic Church in order to divorce his first wife. And he famously went on to get married a total of 6 times. He also kept many mistresses on the side. Unfortunately for these women, several of them were executed or died during childbirth. At one point in his life, Henry became so obese that he couldn’t walk anymore.
