If you believe the movie, Henry VIII basically split from the Church of Rome to found the Church of England based solely on the fact that he really wanted to have sex with Anne Boleyn.
A reading of the Wikipedia entry on Henry VIII (which watching the movie inspired me to do—how’s that for a recommendation?) suggests that it is a bit deeper, but that Anne certainly played a significant role in his decision.
You think about the course of history changed because of testosterone and this has to rank up there pretty highly.
I hadn’t read the book, but I thought this movie was EXCELLENT and the acting was superb.
I remembered some of the history from high school, but this story really brought it home and made me curious for more.
Worth the watch!
