A New Tudor Game - It's A Fact
Aug 3 2010, 12:37 PM EDT | Post edited: Aug 4 2010, 8:16 AM EDT
I have come up with an idea for a new game which I will call It's A Fact. The idea is that we write ten facts about King Henry VIII and then ten facts about his six wives. We write them in an impartial way (no haters please) just as if we were reporting them on a news broadcast. When we have written ten facts about Henry we then go onto the six wives - taking them in the order that they became Queen. We could always add on a few more important Tudor Characters such as Thomas Wolsey and Thomas Cromwall at a later date. If everybody could put a number before their comment that would be helpful. When we get to the final fact on the last wife. We then go back to Henry again. I will start things off. .

1) King Henry VIII was made Defender of the Faith by Pope Leo X in 1521
