Throughout History, one of the most ruthless and brutal Kings to reign over England was Henry VIII, who during the Tudor period sentenced many people to death including two of his own wives. The King showed little mercy and he would also not take any nonsense from his subjects and he ordered everyone to follow his rules and orders. Henry VIII during his 4 decades on the throne of England sentenced between 50,000 to 70,000 people to death inside of his land, and this was roughly 3% of the population of the nation. But the King in his final days was a shadow of his former self, and he was someone who put on a huge amount of weight as he became very immobile due to an accident he had in the years before. But despite the chaos of the King’s reign and the blood shed all across England, Henry VIII’s death was one that did not mirror this. He died in peace and in a relative state of calm, but Henry did in his final moments acknowledge the sins that he had committed which included the execution of his wives Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, and for this he thought that he would be destined for the flames of hell. But what did the most infamous King in History die from? Let’s look at the disturbing postmortem of Henry VIII.
