Subject: RE: BS: Henry VIII - The Mind of a Tyrant
I think Henry would have given you an argument. I think he probably thought of himself as a very devout Christian prince.

He always justified even his most monstrous cruelties with what we now see as total self deluded bullshit. However he DID convince himself quite successfully.

I don't think he had a moment's doubt that his entire life had been entirely virtuous.
