I'm Henry the VIII I had 6 horrid wives
Some people say I ruined their lives

I'd give him a solid VIII

but seriously this guy was an absolute shit monarch, he came into power with a massive surplus in the treasury, wasted it all, then destroyed countless irreplaceable treasures when he liquidated the monasterys and wasted all of that money too

His lovelife is over-played, as a king Henry VIII laid the foundations of British global hegemony, and by freeing the English from the Pope he played a key role in ensuring the eventual survival and prospering of Protestantism.

how, by spending all of his kingdom's money on the navy, then getting it BTFO by France? The church of england was hardly protestant at all, it simply replaced the pope with the king of england. All the real protestants in England were deeply disappointed by it. By the time of Henry's "conversion" protestantism was already very well established.

Yes. He was the first English monarch to shift the national focus from the army to the navy.

>The church of england was hardly protestant at all

So? Protestantism would not have survived if it hadn't been for "Protestant" England supporting the continental Protestants and giving safe haven to their leaders.

it absolutely would have, protestantism rapidly gained a foothold in Scandinavia
