In this series of talks by renowned Tudor historians, we closely examine the monarch and man himself, Henry VIII. Did he deserve his reputation as a ruthless ruler? Or was there another side to his story? 

These talks were recorded live in collaboration with History Today to mark the 500th anniversary of the coronation of Henry VIII.         

In our first talk, historian David Starkey introduces this series by contextualising the man himself, exploring Henry's relationship with fame and how it shaped his kingship and dynasty.
