There are two ways this might disqualify itself. The tenth Henry doesn't exist and one or two are in onlyfive words. On the plus side I mugged up all sorts of stuff about Henry One and Henry Three that I didn't know, a bit of self-education which, after all, never comes amiss.

Ten Henries

Henry One was swift to act.
Henry Two had Beckett whacked.

Henry Three preferred the Arts.
Henry Four was in two parts.

Henry Five was early dead.
Henry Six was off his head.

Henry Seven was mean and horrid.
Henry Eight was fat and florid.

Henry Nine could be our King.
Henry Ten – there’s no such thing.
