Seven, actually. Nobody remembers _Henry VIII._ Probably because most of it is boring. 😉

Well, Henry VIII has a modium of fame because it is Shakespare’s last play and the fact that people have heard of the title character.
To me, Cymbeline is more obscure.

I must’ve miscounted. There are two Henry IVs, one Henry V, three Henry VIs, and one Henry VIII. Yep, that’s seven. Oops. 😉
