Henry VIII, whether loved or loathed, never fails to grab the attention.
When I first learned of where he was buried, in an unmarked grave with no tomb, I was shocked! For such an enduring character, larger than life even 500 years after his death, to lack a grand memorial seemed unbelievable to me.
So, I took a closer look at why this was.
I wrote an article on my blog at the time which I later revised and updated for HistoryExtra.com to publish! Read the article here>>>
I don't know if Henry is someone I would have liked if I ever were to have met him, however, I can't help be fascinated when walking in his footsteps. Find out 5 places that shaped Henry's story in 'Henry VIII: 5 places you (probably) didn’t know shaped his life', another article published on HistoryExtra.com.
If you prefer, I have also done a live recording. Watch now :)
