This year marks the 500th anniversary since King Henry VIII came to the throne of England. To mark the occasion the British Library is hosting a major exhibition guest-curated by David Starkey and featuring historic texts like The Psalter of Henry VIII - Henry's own prayer book, with notes written by the King himself. This significant ruler is well known for his six wives, for setting up the Church of England and for the bloody battles he led the country into. As well as the Henry VIII: Man and Monarch exhibition there's a series of talks, lectures by Dr Starkey and events including a Henry VIII Day for all the family featuring Tudor re-enactments, sports, games and workshops.About British Library
