Henry VIII : Tyrantosaurus Rex : An Exceedingly Short Novel By Mr Alfred N.Muggins

     Henry VIII, Tyrantosaurus Rex went on the rampage, devouring maidens and wives, and rooting out rotten ministers, creating division and forcing his minions to compete for his attention. To the best servants or ministers he gave the best Castles and Houses, the best titles and lands, but he could just as well take away as give!

     He went on rampages, particularly in the North, where the Pilgrimage of Grace and the Catholic rebellions made the people fair game for his dinosaur games. He turned into a dinosaur occasionally, with a very thick skin, and did not care about his people when it happened.

     At such times he turned into a very nasty and sometimes very grumpy dinosaur. It made him feel like a dragon, but of course, whereas dragons were not real, dinosaurs had been once upon a time, and could be again!
