# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Sangüesa on 18 April 1503, Henry became king at fourteen when his mother, Queen Catherine, died in 1517. His father, King John III, had died the year before. The timing was bitter: in 1512, five years before Henry's succession, Spanish forces had conquered the bulk of Navarre, reducing the realm to a small northern pocket beyond the mountains. Henry spent his reign governing not the kingdom his ancestors knew, but the fragment that survived the invasion.
