What was Henry viii relationship with WALES?
Henry VIII was the son of Henry Tudor (Henry VII) who was of Welsh royal stock and took the English throne after the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, which overthrew Richard III, brought an end to the Plantagenent dynasty and placed a Welshman on the throne of England for the first time in history. Henry married Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV and they had 7 children, of which Henry VIII was the third. Henry VIII was thus half-Welsh. He was a fluent Welsh speaker, but was responsible for the Act of Union in 1536 which effectively abolished Wales as a seperate nation and made it a part of England, a situation which existed legally until Edwardian times. He did this for two reasons- the first was that at the time, Wales was predominantly Catholic, and many senior Welsh clerics disapproved of the establishment of the Church of England. The second was that by the time of Henry's reign, many Welsh people (including aristocracy, landed gentry and influential pubic figures) were beginning to feel that the Tudors had 'sold out' to England too much and were no longer adequately representing Welsh interests. Henry thus wished to forestall another Welsh rebellion, which by the early / mid 16th Century could have been far more devastating for England due to advances in military technology since the time of Owain Glyndwr.

What Welsh leaders who did not want the English to take over Wales?
Wales became an English possession when Llywellyn the Last was killed (accidentally) at Cilmeri in 1282. This led to a long period of instability in British politics, the main feature of the next two centuries being the Wars of the Roses as the Lancaster line of the Blood Royal (mainly Lancaster based) contested the throne with the York line (mainly from York, but with strong Welsh connections through the Mortimer family). Owain Glyndwr was an Anglicised Welsh prince who joined the Yorkist cause and maintained a serious rebellion for several years. On the other hand Henry V, though Lancastrian, was Welsh by birth. The tumult only finally resolved when Henry Richmond (Henry VII) defeated the Yorkist Richard III at the battle of Bosworth Field. Henry was a descendant of the Tudor family of Anglesey, so in an important sense this represented a Welsh final conquest of England.

This area, about a third of Wales, was ruled as if it was part of England. As in England, the Principality was divided into shires which were governed by men appointed by the king of the time. Two-thirds of Wales was still governed by what were called the "Marcher Lords". This was land that had been conquered by the Norman's during the 11th and 12th centuries.In 1485, Henry Tudor defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. Henry was a Welshman and the involvement of Welsh soldiers at Bosworth played a significant part in Henry's victory. After he became king, Henry rewarded many Welsh men with government posts in London.In 1509, Henry VIII succeeded his father to the throne.
