It doesn't. Regardless, it's well known that Henry VIII died of syphyllis.

Actually it’s quite contested that Henry VIII died of the Great Pox

If you have definitive proof I’d like to see it

All the murder and mayhem was a product of the court primarily all the intrigue over the years starting with Wolsley and T Cromwell on to the Boelyns and Seymours and of course thru his entire reign The Duke of Norfolk who barely survived him literally by Henry dying while his order for Norfolks head who languished in the Tower was never carried out

Henry literally divorced four women thru awkward annulments including two executions to keep striving for a male heir because it was the times

He discounted Cleves from jump street and killed Howard for being guilty of being unfaithful.....

Seymour is only true love died

Parr outlived him and his physical capability to produce an heir with her being late 30s and he weakened was low

Aragon he stayed with a long damn time to try for a legal divorce

These folks took the religious authority damn serious

Could he have had syphillis....sure but it is not a forgone conclusion

It is a matter of contention
