“I’m Henry the Eighth I am, ‘enry the Eighth I am, I am. I got married to the widow next door, she’d been married seven times before. And ev’ry one was an…” OK, we’ll stop there. Henry the Eighth is a historical figure, sure, but he’s also a man who’s spawned much entertainment potential. That unending song is probably the most easily recognizable example, but Henry the Eighth’s life has also inspired a new cable TV show on Showtime. Called “The Tudors,” this show follows a fictionalized-but-roughly-based-on-history account of Henry the Eighth’s younger years. Full of sex, violence and immaturity, it mimics modern politics more than most people might care to admit. But hey, it’s all in the name of entertainment.

Movie summary: In The Tudors: Season One, which originally aired on Showtime, King Henry the Eighth is young, sexy and the most powerful man in the world.
