He changes his religion for self enrichment (new wives) and destroys the lives of the wives past. He's pompous and arrogant. I'm sure there are other ways in which he is like Henry. This has been in my head since watching the Tudors last night.

but have you seen paintings of the real Henry? It's also the way Newt sits during his town halls and campaign stops and moves his hands around like whatever he is saying is an edit.
