Sir Henry Merrivale (known to those close to him as H.M.) is a fictional amateur detective / barrister / government operative, created by mystery author John Dickson Carr under the pseudonym of Carter Dickson. H.M. works for a dilapidated espionage department in Westminster, but spends much of his time aiding his friend Chief Inspector Masters in puzzling cases which seem to be impossible. From a fraudulent medium killed in a shed with its door locked on both sides, barred windows, and no footprints in the mud around it all next to a haunted house; to a stabbing done by an apparently invisible killer and weapon in front of witnesses at a French chateau where a master thief is hiding; to defending a young man found in an ostensibly locked and sealed room with a man stabbed by an arrow which apparently only he could have done; and even figuring out if and how a mentalist could kill two people just by thinking them to death without a scratch; H.M.'s cases are baffling but all have a sensible explanation behind them. H.M. often speaks in slang and strange oaths like "Lord love a duck!", enjoys reading pulp fiction, actively avoids being made a member of the House of Lords, and always wears a ridiculous top hat.

King Henry VIII of England. King Henry had eight wives and was the father of Mary, Queen of Scots and Queen ELizabeth I.

Corin Amour Bernard, I am sorry to say that you are incorrect when detailing Henry VIII as being the father of Mary Queen of Scots. No, he was not her father. Her great uncle, yes, through her grandmother, princess Margaret Tudor who was the elder sister of King Henry VIII and was subsequently married to the Scottish King James IV. The Mary you are confusing the Scottish queen with was none other than Mary I of England, also known as "Bloody Mary". Mary I was the only surviving child of King Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Queen Elizabeth I was the only surviving child of King Henry's second marriage to Anne Boleyn of whom he had beheaded for alleged adultery when she could not bear him a son.
PS- King Henry VIII had only six wives and not eight.

I don't know if this is good for 'famous bearer', but I have noticed this is a common video game protag/antag/helpful person in game name, and thinking maybe in the namesakes that should be a category. For example, Henry Stein from the horror game BATIM, (Bendy and the Ink Machine) who is the protagonist. Also, in FNaF (Five Nights at Freddy's), the man who gives you instructions in many of the games is Henry Emily. He also plays a part in the FNaF books, and is Co-owner of the Pizzeria. I'm sure there are more.

Henry Valentine Miller (December 26, 1891 – June 7, 1980) was an American writer and, to a lesser extent, painter. He is known for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a new sort of "novel" that is a mixture of novel, autobiography, social criticism, philosophical reflection, surrealist free association, and mysticism, one that is distinctly always about and expressive of the real-life Henry Miller and yet is also an imaginative construct. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and Black Spring. He also wrote travel memoirs and essays of literary criticism and analysis.
