nah it's true.
Henry VIII did only have 6 wives. However, the names Henry VI and Henry VII had already been taken, and he didn't want to look like some low life scum who could only get 5 (or less) wives. So he was left with two options - change his name or pick a different number. As he was quite fond of being called "henry" or "our 'en" up north he chose the number 8.
Next question please
