Henry VIII

Anne of Cleves spoke (and could read and write) the Germanic Dialect which they spoke in Cleves. She was not well educated for a woman of her status and wealth. She could not speak Latin, French or English. She did not play any musical instruments and could not dance well.

Henry had married her because he thought that he might get a boy to take over the throne when he died.

Although there is a complex history which informs the answer to this question, it essentially boiled down to two factors:

The Pope would not grant him an annulment of the marriage to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Also, Henry the VIII did not wish to see any Catholic church funds being taken out of England and given to the Vatican.

One is getting a little of the , in this case Royal carriage before the horses. First of all Henry Viii did not ( they all say this) intend to found a new church. He was originally a Roman Catholic and was adamantly opposed to Lutheranism- then taking fire in central and Germanic Europe. It just so happened that Henry Viii penned a little Latin tome defending the seven sacraments ( a major theological issue of the time was that only a few sacraments- for example Baptism and Communion-0r the Lord"s Supper- could be directly traced to the Bible- and there were and even now are hundreds of variations of Masses, for example, and dedications of a religious nature- that could be considered sacraments or rites by extending the term. ( this still is true in Catholicism there are dedications for such things as Bridges, Seismographs, etc- Blessings ( usually out of the church) for Animals, etc- these are NOT sacraments. anyhow, Henry was honored by the Pope (Leo X) and given the title of Defender of the Faith- which has been emblazoned on British coins ever since- Fidei Defensor- the Latin spelling used- this title is still in circulation. Henry did not break with the Roman church until his Love Life got inthe way- specifically the divorce of his first, Spanish, wife Katharine of Aragon- that was the last straw, essentially the Divine Right of Kings- here Henry- versus the Vatican. well, in a way, both won out. the Fidei Defensor motto is still on the coins and the Tudor motto of (Dieu et Mon Droit) (God and My Right) is proudly emblazoned above the tomb of Queen Elizabeth I, his daughter, so. That"s the First Epsicopalian" legacy. Henry never described himself as an Episcopalian, by the way.

No of course not. But Henry VIII (1491 - 1547)apparently did refer to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves (1515 - 1557), as "The Flanders Mare", because he only saw her in a portrait before he married her, and when he saw her in real life, he didn't like what he saw. He did go ahead and marry her on 6 January 1540, but annulled the marriage 6 months later in July, as he didn't want to consummate it. She did get a generous settlement though, and stayed friends with Henry.

When Henry VIII was 44 years old (1535), he injured his leg very badly in a jousting accident. The leg appeared to heal, but in a few years it had opened up again and eventually became ulcerated.

Because Henry was incapacitated with the bad leg, he was not able to take as much exercise and so became very overweight. This put a great deal of strain on the bad leg.

Eventually, both his legs were became ulcerated. This caused him a great deal of pain throughout the rest of his life.

King Henry VIII was a Catholic in his early life. When the Catholic Church refused to dissolve his marriage to Catherine of Aragon so that he could marry Anne Boleyn, he broke away from the Church and declared himself head of the Church of England.

Ben Hall had one son. At the age of nineteen, Ben Hall married Bridget 'Biddy' Walsh, and their son Henry was born on 7 August 1859.

In a way Henry the viii was a good king because he took care of England. He did this by being a loyal and trustworthy King even though he chopped off a few heads and fell out with the church.

Henry VIII only had one son. His son Edward VI was born to his third wife Jane Seymour. Henry died when Edward was only 9 years old. Henry's will named 16 executors to act as Edward's council until he was 18 and old enough to rule himself. Edward was a Protestant. He died when he was 15, and his cause of death is unknown.

Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) was Henry VIII's fifth wife, and a great deal younger than Henry (1491 - 1547). Henry and Catherine were married on 28 July 1540. Catherine was a cousin of the ill fated Anne Boleyn (Henry's second wife) and a niece of the Duke of Norfolk. Henry was extremely happy with her, but Catherine made the terrible mistake of having an affair with a cousin of her mother's, Thomas Culpepper, which was a treasonable offence. Catherine was apprehended and was placed into custody on 12 November 1541. After she was found to be guilty of the charges, Catherine was eventually taken to the Tower of London by barge on 10 February 1542. On 13th February 1542 she went to her execution and her body was placed in the chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula at the Tower, to join that of her cousin Anne Boleyn.

Henry VIII married the twice widowed, and infinitely more sensible lady, Katherine Parr, his last wife, on 12 July 1543. Henry died on 28 January 1547, and Katherine outlived him.

Henry VIII had many warships, the most famous is probably the Mary Rose.

At the time there was no 'England', but the departure of the Romans led to incursions by Saxon raiders. These Saxons fought the Britons (some say the Britons were led by King Arthur in this era) and eventually set up their own kingdoms - like Wessex, which comes from 'West Saxon'. The English people are considered Anglo-Saxon today becuase of the turmoil, war, intermarriage and general genetic and cultural mash-up which occured from the time the romans left up until the middle ages. England gained Saxon place names, some folklore, and a distinct character which owes little to the Roman occupation simply because without the protection of the Legions of Rome the whole political and social fabric of that part of Europe was plunged into raiding and warfare for years - arguably making the English tougher as a consequence!

Probably Henry VIII made more changes than his son Edward VI. Mainly because Henry was on the throne longer. Henry dissolved the monasteries and made England a protestant country. Edward only reigned for six years and he was only sixteen when he died. He mainly continued to implement the changes that his father had set in motion. While Henry may have abandoned the Catholic faith and created the Church of England for political and personal reason. There is no doubt that Edward was a true believer in the Church of England as a religion and if he had grown up to be a man he may well have proven to be a much greater force for change than his father ever was.

King Edward VI (1537 - 1553) came to the throne after Henry.

Henry VIII had only three legitimate children. The all came to the throne, in this order:

-Edward VI

-Mary I

-Elizabeth I

He had an illegitimate child by his mistress Bessie Blount named Henry Fitzroy. He became the 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset. There was talk of the king making him his heir before he had Edward by his third wife (Jane Seymour), but he died of consumption. He might have had other children, but these were the only four he publicly acknowledged.

Henry had 33 slaves

Henry I had two wives, first was Matilda of Scotland also known as Edith. The second Adeliza of Louvain.

people in the Tudor times had their own opinion, some people thought Henry viii was a villain because he had a argument with the pope of the catholic church and took all the treasures for himself and his friends.

Others thought he was a hero bacause he made England a strong and powerful country and ruled very well.
