1530s
Henry VIII's reign
The decade from 1530 to 1539.
Like other decade terms formed with an -s, it functions as a noun or adjective: The 1530s saw Henry VIII's break with Rome; 1530s fashion favored broad shoulders.
The -s creates a plural noun from the year, treating the ten years as a collection.
