King Henry
English royal title
King Henry refers to any of several English monarchs bearing that name, most commonly Henry VIII, known for his six wives and break with the Catholic Church.
In casual speech, King Henry often appears in historical references or jokes about marital excess: He's had so many wives, he's like King Henry.
The name also designates a standard bottle size for wine or champagne—three liters, four times a regular bottle.
