Henry was the uber-opportunist, writing eloquent tomes in support of Papal authority when he thought it would do him the most good...and penning (or authorizing) some of the most horrifically anti-Catholic screeds when he saw the previous ship had sailed.
HP for the most part. I have nothing against the Reformers. (Though as with any impassioned movement, they often went too far...even frightening Martin Luther with their extremism at times.) But Henry was no real reformer.
I'm not sure anyone could knock Alfred the Great off the pedestal I keep him on, anyway.
