England's Henry VIII

Henry VIII-surely you've heard of him, the English king who had six wives. But that's not why he should be remembered. Did you know that he was considered the best-looking man in Europe? That he wrote poetry? That he was an amazing athlete, truly a sports-star royal? Join us as we take a close look at Henry-his loves, his wars, and his defiance of the Pope in Rome. Did he really start a new church, or did he rely on the people about him to make such decisions? Did he really order the mother of Queen Elizabeth beheaded? Was it Henry that started British navy that sailed to all parts of the world? Did he really "acquire" palaces, much as some people acquire pairs of shoes? Intrigued? Good! CALLIOPE can't wait to have you come aboard as we travel back some 500 years and listen in on events that made history-and changed it!
