Henry VIII was well-educated and knew better. But his libido got the best of him. That is an act of the will.

For Yale to do this is really irresponsible.

They are essentially saying that if you have a brain injury you will be given an excuse for bad behavior.

He was one very spoiled and erratic monarch. But it was less about sex and more about producing a male heir. This was a problem that plagued Yorkists, Lancasters and Tudors because of the inbreeding that caused, not mental defects (they were all brilliant), but infertility. They married their cousins generally because they wanted to keep the real estate - the only value at that time - within the family.
