We would most likely be cowering down in a corner, eating turnips and believing that the priest could "strike us down".

Henry is one of my all time heroes of history. He just sort of stood back and went 'Hey, why do I have to do things according to what some tart in a dress in Italy tells me to do?' As you rightly say he is someone who pushed us forward instead of us being held back, as a nation.
