Did Henry viii create the royal navy?
No. Technically, Alfred the Great 'started' an English navy and is credited as one of the fathers of the fleet (along with Henry V). However, because these impermanent navies came and went with war, they can't really be seen as precursors to the Royal Fleet. During the reign of the Tudors, a fundamental change occurred where monarchs actually maintained a group of ships in order to protect England from overseas invasion as well as to protect sea trade through the Channel.In my opinion, Henry VIII's contributions to the formation of the navy were impermanent (although the Navy is seen as a permanent institution after his reign) simply because the vast contributions he made were allowed to wither away under Edward VI and Mary I ('Bloody Mary'). But it is impossible to overlook Henry's contributions to later English naval supremacy. If you wanted to look at who 'started' the navy, I'd suggest researching Charles I and his 'ship-money' tax which allowed for the funding and maintenance of a proper navy. I'd also look at the navy's development during the English Civil War under Oliver Cromwell and the Parliamentarians. I'd use the beginning of the Tudor Dynasty and the ascension of Charles II to the throne as bookends to any further research you do in this area. It's generally accepted that by the time Charles II took the throne, the Royal Navy was a powerful institution and maritime force.Sources:Loades, David.
