Having recently finished watching the Hiberno-Canadian series of The Tudors (2007-2010), I thought I'd post a few pictures of Henry VIII and his wives as a bit of light relief. For all that the four seasons of the show treated history as a malleable, plastic art form, it can't be denied that it was visually stunning and vibrant; it certainly attracted (and held) the viewer's attention.
