Henry VIII was said to be very handsome when young, and quite dazzling.
Six feet tall and powerfully built, he excelled in many athletic events, including jousting, Archery, Wrestling and all forms of mock combat. He loved to dance and did it well; he was a renowned tennis player. Henry also enjoyed intellectual pursuits, often discussing mathematics, astronomy and theology with Thomas More. He knew Latin and French, a little Italian and Spanish, and even studied Greek for a time. The king was also a great patron of musicians, arranging for music wherever he might be, and was a notably gifted musician himself.
ruthless. Henry was energetic and restless, and often co-Henry was bold, outgoing, and energetic; he could be charming, generous and kind. He was also hot-tempered, stubborn, and self-centered -- even for a king. He had inherited some of his father's paranoid tendencies, but it manifested less in caution and more in suspicion. Henry was a hypochondriac, terrified of disease (understandable, considering his Brother Arthur's demise). He could be ruthless not be bothered with the details of running a kingdom. He gladly delegated authority to Wolsey on matters both momentous and mundane.
