Henry VIII the warrior, the poet, the hunter, the joust winner, the legend, the All-England Swan-Eating Champion 1509 -1542.
Henry VIII he of the fine singing voice, fantastic pair of legs, brilliant mind, and the biggest boobs in Christendom.
Henry VIII the seducer, the intriguer, the woo-er, the hot boyfriend, the sexy lover, the fantastic husband, the champion of womens issues.
On the subjects of love, laughter, leadership, parenting, diet and exercise, and motivation, believe me ladies and gentlemen, this monarch knows it all and more! and is eager to do a complete dump of inspiration on you. (Am I phrasing that right? Im trying to sound modern.)
As his second wife, the Henry VIII I knew was just getting started! I cannot wait to read this book to learn a few life tips myself! This is going to be epic!!!

Rules for Peasants Reading This Book
1. Whilst reading this glorious and inspirational guide to life, a full prostration upon the floor (face down, arms outstretched) is preferred but a kneel is okay. But do it with feeling. And dont try one of those half-hearted one-knees-bent poses! Kneeling means both knees!
2. One must read this inspirational guide to life aloud in a booming, authoritarian voice (this applies to all situations whether one is in bed alone or with company, upon a horse, in a restaurant, or on public transport).
3. At the commencement of each reading of this glorious book one must stand and in a loud, stentorian voice sing the following song -- and do not try to riff sing it like youre bloody Beyonc. Pick a note, the proper note, and stay with it. Dont go frantically searching about the scales for Christs sake:
God save our sexy king,
Ruler of everything,
God save the king!
Make him notorious,
Obese and glorious,
Heir-makingly Tudorious,
God save the king!!!!!
An Introduction from This My Very Pen
Why have I written this inspiring guide to life?
Because you need it. You people need this book like a mouth needs wine. Like a musical needs a song about wishing for things. Like an axe needs a neck. And I think you must know you need it because the question I get constantly on Twitter is: @knghnryviii, how can I be more like you?
Well. Thats a huge ambition. Like a sneeze that sings of wishing to become a typhoon.
If one is to span the unimaginable distance between who I am and whatever you are at the very least, its going to require a book-length effort. The task of writing such a volume would drive a lesser man to madness.
But lesser men are not Tudor monarchs.
Thus I am here, dear modern reader person, to do the herculean task of guiding, Tudorsplaining, and, one hopes, shaming and frightening you into becoming the best Henry VIII you can be.
Because of the clear magnitude of this tome, it deals with lifes biggest, most impenetrable, and universal questions such as:
- How can I avoid eating vegetables?
- Can I be sexy whilst not being obese? (Hint: no)
- If I have a daughter or two who expresses nothing but ill-will and abhorrence for me, is that normal?
- What are the sexiest ways to woo a lady with my shirt off?
- How can I select a wife with the right sort of womb?
- What if my wife gives me a girl and my mistress gives me a boy?
- My dad wishes to marry the same girl I want to marry help!
- Which foods will best manage my moods? And in what tonnage?
- Theres a lady I wish to wed and her husband is almost but not quite dead OMG what ever shall I do?
- How does a man become more than a man? An icon? A myth?
Fortunately for you this book does not simply ask such penetrating questions and leave you to sort it out for yourself, no, no, this book provides answers specific steps you can and must take to achieve your goals.
Unleash Your Inner Tudor even offers life hacks for ladies because whilst most have not been taught to read (this is still the case, I assume?) and are solely focused on the needs and demands of the men and children in their lives, somewhere deep inside, ladies want answers to things just like other people.
Look, Ill be the first to admit that to the untrained eye my start at becoming Henry VIII could seem rather unplanned, random, simple luck even. And some of it is, to be perfectly frank, the result of divine accident.
I was told by my mother (or maybe an angel told me in dream, I cant recall) that when God made me it was the morning after some dodgy take-away the night before and a bit too much Shiraz from a box. Whilst fumbling about in his glorious, heavenly solarium where he performs wondrous deeds our lovely Lord God Jehovah knocked his person-making supplies about, spilled things, blended things with eyes half-closed and poured the man-batter into his big glowing 3-D printer. There came a noise like the universe splitting in two, a knocking, a slurping, and a hey nonny nonny. A cloud of glittery smoke later, there I was. Dripping in glory. The one, the only.
