What annoyed me about him, is did he really have to destroy all the abbeys and priories while he was at it? Think of the treasures we'd have now if he hadn't. I don't care for religion, but it certainly motivated people to build some magnificent structures, and fill them with fantastic artwork. But I suppose religion has always been one of the most divisive things in the world too, capable of any level of destruction. Ca plus ca change... :rolleyes
