Which Tudor Monarch Would You Have Been?

Some rule with big, commanding presence, chasing legacy and desire without much patience for being told no. Some are shrewd and guarded, brilliant strategists who put the wellbeing of what they've built above their own personal wants. Some hold fiercely to their convictions, resolute and devout even when that conviction costs them relationships and popularity. And some are idealistic and eager to prove themselves, principled well beyond their years but still finding their footing.
