Henry VIII or Henry V111?
Apr 21 2010, 2:51 PM EDT
Just a point of trivia, I notice that some people type V111 and actually roman numerals are based on letters of the alphabet like this :I = 1 V = 5 X = 10 L = 50 C = 100 D = 500 M = 1000 So it is actually VIII and not V111 11 out of 11 found this valuable. Do you?

just to be a know it all. it really would have been Henry UIII. they didnt used the letter "V" (and for that matter "J" ) well and also no one ever called a king "the eighth, the seveth etc." just King Henry. trivia :)
