Henry VIII is seen as, perhaps, the most charismatic of all Kings of England. As a petulant, self-obsessed and ruthless King, he broke with the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church, he dissolved the Monasteries, he unified England & Wales (after all the Tudors were a Welsh dynasty), and he cut off the head of two wives – Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard – and one Lord Chancellor, Sir Thomas More.
