So can we all agree on Henry VIII as summarizing the archetypical douchebag? I mean, look at the guy:
>Has GF
>Mad at gf cause he won't give her a son (seriously who the fuck wants a son)
>Asks God for more GF
>God tells him he can only have one GF
>Tells God to go fuck himself and declares himself Pope of England in return
>Gets second GF
>Still no son
>Seriously who wants a son REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>Beheads second GF who has become a serious goth faggot in the Tower by then
>Gets third GF
>She dies at birth
>But he got his fucking son
>#YOLOs it and goes for three more GFs
>Also had a mistress and a bastard child going on
>God still hasn't forgiven the Church of England all these years later
What a fucking asshole.

>(seriously who the fuck wants a son)

As the king, your top priority is to have a son. Even ruling is less prioritary, others can do that for you.

>Mad at God
You mean mad at the Pope for not annulling his marriage with a wife too old to reliably bear children because geopolitics caused the Pope to give Henry a serious bureaucratic runaround making him wait forever for a decision when he just wanted a new legitimate marriage, so England gave the middle finger to a holier-than-thou continental authority just like it did a few weeks ago.

Is this show Patrician? How accurate is it?

Crudely put but op has a point
If you're a king and you don't produce male issue, it will cause a political, diplomatic and perhaps even spiritual catastrophe
Henry was not just some glutton trading up mistresses, he was a king growing older desperately trying to stave off a looming crisis while he still could

Every man ever?

>(seriously who the fuck wants a son)
