Henry VIII (TV serial) stars only an actor who was born in 1976.
 In legal terms, Henry had only three wives, because three of his marriages were annulled by the Church of England
 Henry himself, at least in the early part of his reign, was a devout and well-informed Catholic to the extent that his 1521 publication Assertio Septem Sacramentorum ("Defence of the Seven Sacraments") earned him the title of Fidei Defensor (Defender of the Faith) from Pope Leo X
