Henry was a good King. One of the reasons why he was a good king was becausehe set up a the Church of England. He also made England a stronger country during the War of the Roses.

However he was a bad King because he destroyed ministries and took money from the poor and the churches. He killed many of his wives.

Many people thought he was a very selfish man and by the end of his life everyone was was afraid of him because of his ruthless behavior. They were also afraid of him becasue he would excecute anyone who didn't agree with him.

I think that Henry VIII wasn't a very nice man and that he was a bad King. From what I have learnt about Henry VIII he sounds selfish and nasty because he only thinks of himself and killed his wives only because they had girls.

Facts on King Henry VIII:
Henry VIII was King of England from 1509 to 1547.
Born: 28th June 1491 at Greenwich Palace.
Died: 28th January 1547 at the Palace of Whitehall in London.
He had seven siblings.

Maths questions: If the answer is 24 what is the question?
*If six people needed four sweets how many would they need altogether.
*How many months in two years.
*What is the sum of 16 and 8.
*What is the six times four.

I think Henry VIII was both a good king and a bad king because he liked war and fights he was very good when England were in war and the bad thing about him is he spent a lot of his money on fancy hats, clothes and castles
And no money on making England a better county.

But other people think that he was mean bossy and just wanted to rule all contreys (witch he did

I think Henry was not that bad of a king because he just wanted stuff his own way like he wanted a baby boy or revenge on France because of what they did maybe. If Henry VIII was here now I might stick by him unless he saids he going to chop my head off.

I think Henry VIII was a bad king because he spent all his money on things he didnt really need so when Edward VI came to the throne he was almost out of money.

Henry VIII was a good king because he helped to protect England by training the soldiers to win the battle.But was also a bad yone in the king because he didn't spend any money on England to make it a better place.

Henry viii was an active fit young man. He had many suits made for him. Henry was a very religouse man he became head of church. And he ruled for 38 years. i think Henry viii was a selfish man because he spent all his money and he had hardly any money left for his son because he spent it on clothes and feathery hats. But he was a good king when there were fights and battles.
