In depth
Family: Mother: Elizabeth of York Vrykolakas - deceased Father: Henry the 6th of England Vrykolakas- deceased Sisters: Margaret Vrykolakas Daughter: Mary Vrykolakas Brother: Prince Arthur of Wales Vrykolakas – deceased Son: Prince Auric of Wales Vrykolakas - Adoptable Ex-Spouse: Catherine of Aragon Vrykolakas – alive but banished Current Spouse: Queen Elizabeth Vrykolakas - Adoptable Personality: King Henry took the throne with an impressive and charming energy, finding it easy to conform publically to the wishes of his subjects. Henry was also very artistic and intelligent and was often found in the great library. He could speak and write in a number of foreign languages, including Latin and Greek. He was learned in mathematics as only a small part of his extensive education. He could single and play the lute, for which he actually wrote music for himself to play. Henry was a great wrestler and often spent hours in the gym. When he could get out he often went hunting to sharpen his skills as a vampire, showing his inclination as both a hunter and an archer.
Henry would hold exquisite jousts and competitions in which he himself would participate, reflecting the personality of being a man of action. These political and athletic events helped to promote both himself as the King of England to the world, as well as strengthening culture around himself in England. Despite the massive success Henry VII had in increasing the prosperity of England, the war with France all but bankrupted England, and despite any gains made in the war with France, Henry VIII would be left with more problems than he could manage as his flamboyant and haughty nature would lead to run-ins with his ally, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Roman Catholic Church in England.
History: Born at Greenwich Palace, as a Vampire, on 28 June 1491 (he was King of England from 21 April 1509), Henry VIII was the third child of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York and their second son. Of the young Henry's six siblings, only three — Arthur, Prince of Wales; Margaret; and Mary — survived infancy. He was baptised by Richard Fox, the Bishop of Exeter, at a church of the Observant Franciscans close to the palace. In 1493, at the age of two, Henry was appointed Constable of Dover Castle and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. He was subsequently appointed Earl Marshal of England and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland aged three, and was inducted into the Order of the Bath soon after. The day after the ceremony he was made Duke of York; a month or so later he was made Warden of the Scottish Marches. In May 1495, he was appointed to the Order of the Garter. Henry was given a first-rate education from leading tutors, becoming fluent in Latin, French, and at least some Spanish and Ancient Greek. Elizabeth of York, his mother, died when Henry was aged 11. Not much is known about his early life – save for his appointments – because he was not expected to become king. In November 1501, Henry also played a considerable part in the ceremonies surrounding the marriage of his brother, Prince Arthur, to Catherine of Aragon.
In 1502, Arthur died at the age of 15, after only 20 weeks of marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Arthur's death thrust all his duties upon his younger brother, the 10-year-old Henry, who after a little debate succeeded him to the Dukedom of Cornwall in October 1502, and the Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester in February 1503. Henry VII gave the boy few tasks. Young Henry was strictly supervised and did not appear in public. Scarisbrick says he ascended the throne "untrained in the exacting art of kingship."
Henry VII renewed his efforts to seal a marital alliance between England and Spain, by offering his second son in marriage to Catherine, youngest surviving child of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile. Both Isabella and Henry VII were keen on the idea, which had arisen very shortly after Arthur's death. On 23 June 1503, a treaty was signed for their marriage, and they were betrothed two days later. Henry also bit his new bride to let her be immortal so she can let the legacy live onward.
It was reported in 1510 that Henry was conducting an affair with one of the sisters of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, either Elizabeth or Anne Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon. Her brother became enraged and Lord George Hastings, her husband, sent her to a convent. Catherine miscarried again in 1514, but gave birth successfully in February 1516 to a girl, Princess Mary. Relations between king and queen had been strained, but they eased slightly after Mary's birth. Henry had had very few mistresses; the most significant was Elizabeth Blount for about three years in 1516 onwards. Catherine did not protest, and in 1518 fell pregnant again with another girl, only for her to be stillborn. Elizabeth is one of only two completely undisputed mistresses, few for a virile young king. Henry became impatient with Catherine's inability to produce the heir he desired and they got divorced, he then married his mistress Elizabeth Blount. When they got married, he had no choice but to bite his new wife too, to preserve her wonder and make her immortal as he is. Elizabeth later gave birth to an heir as Henry wanted, a Prince and his name was Auric.
