def more of a soap opera...disappointing..
and henry did get fat in his old age - esp as his thigh became more painful and he couldn't get about easily - and he loved his grub- apparently towards the end of his life, he wanted to 'dispose' of Katherine Parr too, but as she was the only person who could change the dressing on his leg without making the pain worse, she was allowed to live.. he had his eye on wife no 7 at that stage...
guess katherine Parr was v lucky Henry died first!
