  1. There were a total of eight British Kings named Henry:

    Henry I of England (c. 1068/1069 – 1 December 1135) was the fifth son of William I the Conqueror and the first born in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066.

    Henry II of England (5 March 1133 – 6 July 1189) ruled as King of England. Henry was the first of the House of Plantagenet to rule England.

    Henry III (1 October 1207 – 16 November 1272) was King of England, reigning for fifty-six years to his death. Mediaeval English monarchs did not use numbers after their names, and his contemporaries knew him as Henry of Winchester.

    Henry IV (3 April 1367 – 20 March 1413) was the King of England and France and Lord of Ireland. He was born at Bolingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire, hence the other name by which he was known, Henry Bolingbroke.

    Henry V (16 September 1387 – 31 August 1422) was one of the most significant English warrior kings of the Middle Ages.

    Henry VI (6 December 1421 – 21 May 1471) was King of England (though with a Regent until 1437) and a claimant to the kingdom of France.

    Henry VII (January 28, 1457 – April 21, 1509), King of England, Lord of Ireland. Born as Henry Tudor he was the first monarch of the Tudor dynasty.

    Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England and Lord of Ireland, later King of Ireland. Henry was the second monarch of the House of Tudor  is perhaps most famous for having been married six times. He wielded perhaps the most formidable power of any English monarch and brought about the English Reformation (including the creation of the Church of England as well as the Dissolution of the Monasteries) and the legal union of England and Wales.
