About King Henry VIII

King Henry the Eighth was the King of England from 1509 until his death in 1547. He was the second monarch of the House of Tudor and father of Queen Elizabeth I. King Henry VIII's reign was riddled with controversy. He was married multiple times and his desire to divorce cause him to create the Church of England to splinter off from the Roman Catholic Church that denied him divorce. He ended up being married six times, (his first wife was Catherine of Aragon and his last was Catherine Parr) but had multiple mistresses throughout his marriages. Nevertheless, were any of his wives to be accused of cheating on him, it was considered treason and King Henry VIII had them beheaded. One of the most famous of his wives to be beheaded was Anne Boleyn.

Dressing up as King Henry VIII

Dress in grand, Tudor style as the monarch with a penchant for food and the ladies. Available in sizes to fit men in adult standard and plus sizes, the King Henry VIII costume comes in a variety of styles and colors, all historically accurate. Each contains a velvet coat trimmed with gold brocade and a pair of pantaloons to match. Also included is a shirt and robe to be worn beneath the larger coat in a complimentary color with brocade. Topping it all off is a King Henry hat in a floppy style as worn by men of the pre-Elizabethan era, trimmed in regal gold with a feather.

Accessorize with a King Henry the Eighth chain like the medallion he had worn throughough his reign. Pair up with an Anne Boleyn costume for a great historical couples costume duo.
