About This Episode

Welcome back to History's Not Boring! Mira and Finn have the most amazing, dramatic royal story ever. Get ready to meet King Henry VIII! He was tall, athletic, loved sports, and threw the biggest parties across England. But here's the best part: He wasn't even supposed to be king! That job was reserved for his serious older brother, Arthur.

But when tragedy suddenly struck, Henry went from being a regular prince to ruling all of England! Can you imagine that enormous pressure? Henry had a massive personality and was super charming, but when he didn't get his way, watch out—he caused mega-drama!

Finn wants to know if this king fights dragons! (Maybe not dragons, but he definitely shook England to its core.) We're diving into how this accidental monarch made HUGE decisions, including divorcing his wives and even starting his own brand-new church! Get ready for castles, feasts, scary decisions, and the true story of how Henry VIII changed history forever!
