This king wed many wives in search of a male heir, even creating a new church to divorce his first. Name that terrible husband.
Answer King Henry VIII
Henry VIII probably didn't win any "best hubbie" awards, but he did reign during the English Renaissance and Reformation. He broke away from the Catholic Church and created the Church of England, of which he was the head...all so he could divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Of his wives, he divorced two, beheaded two more, one of them died from complications at birth, and the last one survived. He finally got his male heir in Prince Edward, after marrying Jane Seymour...though it was arguably his sister, Elizabeth, who rocked her succession.
