I too have read a lot about him and his children, especially Elizabeth I.
Henry, in his youth, was athletic, musical (he composed), and quite learned. The people around him, primarily Cromwell, were snakes and greatly influenced his decisions.
I am grateful to him for the English Reformation. Thomas Cranmer wrote a beautiful prayer book and the Anglican liturgy is beautiful in its simplicity.
