저자에 대하여
Henry VIII was the King of England from 1509 until his death in 1547. He is best known for his six marriages and his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. Born to Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, he ascended to the throne at the age of 17 following the death of his father. His reign brought about significant political and religious changes, particularly the English Reformation, which led to the establishment of the Church of England, breaking away from papal authority in Rome.
Henry's personal life was marked by his quest for a male heir, leading him to marry six times. His marriages to Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, among others, were tumultuous and politically charged, shaping the course of English history. Despite his controversial reign, Henry VIII is remembered as one of the most influential monarchs, whose legacy continues to be a subject of fascination and study in both historical and cultural contexts.
