Henry VIII aided the entrance of protestant beliefs into England when he?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

King Henry (VIII) wanted to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.

He applied to the Pope in Rome. The Pope would not annul ther marriage. Basically, Henry said that no one outside England was going to tell him what to do in England, because he was King.

So he broke away from the Roman Catholic Church (the Pope), and reformed the Roman Catholic Church that was in England, into the modern Anglican Communion. It is known as the 'Reformation'.

NB When you see pictures of King Henry, and knowing his actions from history , he comes accross as a very Autocratic person.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia,

However, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania whilst not part of the USSR , wqere tightly controlled by the USSR.

Other countries under USSR influence were Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Roumania. They all formed part of a political and trading alliance known as 'Comminterm'. or 'Commecon'. They were separated from the rest of Europe by what Sir Winston Churchill named as the 'Iron Curtain'.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As Germanic tribes which contributed dramatically to the decline and fall of Western Rome in Late Antiquity, the Visigoths and Ostrogoths traveled great distances from their original East European homelands to their new homes (gained at the expense of Rome) in Western Europe. Horses were utilized in their travels, as well as in battle, but it is likely that these tribes, like so many other 'barbarians,' utilized their feet, mules and oxen and other transport-animals, and also carts or other wagon-like vehicles during their migratory movements.

What is a diffrenent word for tapestry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tapestries were often known by the name of their city or factory of origin. In Hamlet, Polonius hides (and is stabbed) behind the Arras; Arras is a town in northern France famous for tapestry production. Similarly, one might speak of a fine Gobelins, if the tapestry was made at the Royal (now State) factory in Paris. Notes: 1: Polonius could hide behind the Arras because tapestries were hung about a foot from the wall, to keep them out of the rising damp. 2: Note that tapestry is woven, not stitched. Other decorative fabrics, such as petit point or Berlin work, are sometimes mistakenly referred to as tapestry.
