'''Henry Louis''' ''Henry Louis Wunna Kan | '''Henry Louis Wunna Kan Caelum''' (19 April 1921), known solely by his standalone English and {{wpl|Burmese language|Burmese}} names '''Henry Louis''' and '''Wunna Kan''' (ဝဏ္ဏကံ), is a former [[King of Bethausia]] from 1965 until his abdication in 1997. He is known for dissolving the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw three years after his ascension and enforcing martial law during the height of the [[War of Lorican Aggression]], and reforming the [[Constitution of Bethausia#1968 constitution|Bethausian constitution]] that granted the [[Tatmadaw (Bethausia)|Tatmadaw]] significant influence in government.

After the restoration of the Bethausian throne in 1946, Henry Louis stepped up his participation in government affairs, attending with his parents in meetings, and even going so far as to represent them in the later years of his parents' reign.

Henry Louis's reign over Bethausia proved beneficial to the country economically and militarily, but was criticized for authoritarian and repressive measures against suspected communist activists and politicians and the censorship of free press from 1968 to 1995.
