He helped with the reformation of the church of England. Henry also wrote a stinging attack in Luther's Ideas. In recognition the pope gave him the title of "Defender of the Faith". Later political needs, however, soon tested his religious loyalty, He needed a Heir, a male Heir. Henry's father had become a king after a long civil war. He feared that a similar war would start if he died without a son as his Heir. Henry and his wife Catherine of Aragon, had a living child but not a son, a daughter, Mary, but no woman at the time had ever successfully claimed the English throne

Meals were heavy with meat and bread, however, some sources say that the Tudors also enjoyed fruits. Vegetables were probably also included in low amounts since they were seen as the food of the poor. Since Henry VIII likely had gout, diabetes, high blood pressure and was overweight, it is likely that his diet was not balanced or adjusted for portions.

Henry VIII of England drank red wine and beer, without hops. Water was seen as unhealthy because it was not safe to drink.

Both the ale and wine of the time had much lower alcohol content than they do today.

Who came first Henry VIII or Martin Luther?
Martin Luther. In late 1517, Martin Luther wrote Ninety-five theses, which were a collection of disputes and objections of what he deemed to be abuses by the Clergy; mainly with regards to indulgences. He then nailed this document to the door of All Saints church/or Castle Church, in Wittenburg. This event was later seen as the event which sparked the "Protestant Reformation". Henry VIII appealed his petition to have his marriage from Katherine of Aragon, to Pope Clement VII, in 1525. He officially formed the Anglican church in 1534. Although Luther's public criticism of and break from the Roman Catholic church came before Henry VIII formed the Anglican church, the two events, motives, or overall philosophies of Luther and Henry VIII, are in no way related, or even similar.
