 It could be argued that no historical legend has more deeply entrenched myths surrounding them than Henry VIII. This can make the secondary History teacher’s role all the more challenging. Henry is one of the ‘two H’s’, much maligned for over-focus in the History curriculum, (the other being a certain Germany dictator of course). If we are to justify Henry’s continued place in the curriculum then it is all the more important to present more than the chant ‘Divorced, beheaded, died …’ and to look beyond the fiery-tempered, larger-than-life figure from Holbein’s famous painting.
