How does it stay up?

How to punish a naughty prince

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 2 Oct 18

This is King Henry VIII of England, when he had only been on the throne for four years and was aged 22. He looked a lot different in later life! When even younger he was not the best behaved of boys - and it might well be said...

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 23 Jun 17

I haven't looked beyond the first page of the results. The majority of what is on the page is books, some dating back to the 1800's. There's one set that is a good bargain. Four books (all from last century or this century) about...

Atleast not carried out to the ceremonies he'd had wished. King Henry wanted a grand tomb built with many decorations and statements. He also required daily masses and all manner of things necessary to carry out this request....

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 11 Jul 16

The price is undisclosed but a few years ago it went for 1 million pounds. Apparently some tripadvisor reviews were referenced and people were calling it "weird". Hmmph! I don't know whose hands it will fall into but I hope...

The Tudors - Oh My!

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 12 Feb 11

I'm kicking myself that I've not been watching this MUCH sooner! The Tudors is now in its 4th (and, sadly) final series and I'm totally hooked. It might have something to do with Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Henry VIII) or the guy who...

I've had a huge sampler of Henry VIII and his six wives that I've been working on for a long time. It's near completion and I'm really proud of it, however I've noticed that near Anne of Cleves, there is a small brown, dirty mark...

Anglicanism was created when Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife and marry another but the pope wouldn't allow it. So Henry decided to start his own religion and break away from the pope. Afterward, if you didn't follow the...

Hermans Hermits--What's your favorite song?

Pixie5477 @Pixie5477 (23) • United States 3 Mar 07

I find it hard to believe I'm the "only Hermans Hermits" fan here. Anyway Peter Noone is so cool. I just love him. I've met him many times in concert and spoken with him in his chatroom as well. He has a fantatic personality and...
