Heinrich VIII. mit seinen sechs Frauen, von denen er zwei aufs Schafott brachte, wird gern als Wüstling und blutrünstiger Gewaltherrscher porträtiert. Sabine Appel betrachtet ihn in ihrer Biographie in ungewohnterem Licht: als humanistisch gebildeten, vielfach talentierten, theologisch versierten und religiösen Mann, dessen Gewissensnöte, oftmals Zeichen eines erstaunlichen Selbstbetrugs, indessen zu weitreichenden Umstürzen mit beträchtlichen Kollateralschäden führten. Die charismatische, aber auch verhängnisvolle Figur dieses Monarchen wird vor dem Hintergrund seiner Zeit und der speziellen Geschichte der Tudor-Dynastie gezeichnet, deren größtes Problem der Selbsterhalt und die Nachfolge war. Die Lebenserzählung ist intensiv mit der Geistesgeschichte verwoben. Werk und Entwicklung von Thomas More, Erasmus oder dem frühen Luther kommen ebenso zur Sprache wie Heinrichs eigene theologische Ambitionen und Beiträge.
