Hello you, how have you been?
also, I meant to ask you earlier, but I forgot.
In your profile, the line "Divorced, Beheaded, Died", is it about Henry VIII's wives?

indeed it is!
i think it used to be a more useful way of remembering the fates of his wives, but it seems henry viii has fallen from historical interest these days, because i've actually been asked that a lot, though you are the only one who asked who knew what i was talking about.

I thought it would be! This makes me pleased.
It was actually in my history book the year I did Tudors and Stuarts, and it was helpful , and my brother is using the same book this year, so it just rang a bell when I read it on your profile.
And yes, it seems that the only reason people know who Henry is nowadays is because "The Tudors" on HBO is a big hit.
