Henry VIII did many things in his life, the most important possibly being breaking away from Catholicism. When the Pope wouldn't annul his marriage, King Henry broke away and made his own church, the Church of England, a form of Protestantism. He also had six wives: Catherine of Aragon (divorced her, then she died without ever being able to see her daughter), Anne Boleyn (beheaded), Jane Seymour (died of childbirth), Anne of Cleves (divorced her because she was so ugly...which is kind of funny since Henry VIII was morbidly obese), Catherine Howard (beheaded), and Catherine Parr (outlived him). Henry VIII had three children: Edward became king after his death, except he was still a minor and had a regent to rule for him, in a way. After he died, Mary inherited the puppet kingdom and turned the country Catholic, burnign almost 300 Protestants martyrs for not giving up their religion before she died after five torturous years. Then Elizabeth inherited, and her rule finally brought back the good old ways, where the sun shone over England, went back to the Anglican Church, and helped England flourish. She ruled from 1558-1603, until her death.
