Has the letters FD always been on British coins?

Asked by Wiki User

No. It first appeared on English coinage after Henry VIII was awarded the title of "Fidei defensor" by Pope Leo X in 1521.

Henry felt so strongly opinionated about the ideas of Martin Luther and other Reformation thinks that by 1518, while reading Martin Luther's attack on indulgences. he started to write a book in defense of the papacy. This book eventually developed into the "Assertio Septem Sacramentorum" or Defence of the Seven Sacraments, which defended the the supremacy of the Pope (and ironically, the sacramental nature of marriage). In 1521, as a result of this spiriited defense, Pope Leo X awarded Henry the title of "Fidei defensor" a Latin title which translates as "Defender of the Faith" and is still used by English monarchs today.

Did Henry VIII like archery?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

King Henry VIII did hunt. He hunted wild boar and deer. One of his favourite hunting grounds is where I live at Stoke Newington, London. He had a hunting lodge round the corner from me at Newington Green. The whole area is steeped in history and kids at local schools are taught from a young age about Henry VIII and his hunting in the area.

Back in the 1500's, nobles and courtiers would pretty much hunt anything they could. In the summer, he probably hunted birds, fish, and wild animals like boar and deer. In the winter, it was difficult to hunt because of the snow that would fall , so if he did hunt (which is not likely), it was probably small game, like bird and fish.

Why did Henry killed his wife?

Asked by Wiki User

Two of the six wives of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) were executed:

Anne Boleyn - Second wife of Henry VIII:

Anne Boleyn (c1501-07 - 1536), who displaced Catherine of Aragon in Henry's affections, had also been unfortunate enough not be able to provide Henry VIII with a male heir, which was not helped by the fact that she had a lot of jealous enemies at court. She was conveniently charged and subsequently executed on trumped up charges of adultery, incest, witchcraft - all treasonable offences. She was beheaded by an expert French swordsman, ordered by Henry as a more merciful death, on 19 May 1536 at the Tower of London. Ironically her triumph was that she was the mother of a great monarch, Elizabeth I.

Catherine Howard - Fifth wife of Henry VIII:

Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) was much younger than Henry VIII. She made the treasonable mistake of having an affair with a cousin of her mother's, Thomas Culpepper. When King Henry was given the details of her adultery, he is said to have cried, as he had always thought of Catherine as his "rose without a thorn". Catherine (a cousin of Anne Boleyn's) was beheaded on 13 February 1542 at the Tower of London, having asked for the block to be brought to her the night before, so that she could practice placing her head upon it.

Why was Henry VIII of England important?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Henry VIII was a very important monarch in English history, mostly famous for his six wives. In the process of divorcing first wife Catherine of Aragon, he broke ties with the Roman Catholic Church and made himself Supreme Head of the Church of England, a title the queen holds to this day. He is the reason England is no longer mainly a Roman Catholic country. He set the stage for Anglicanism. He is also the father of the most famous Tudor monarch : Elizabeth I, daughter of his second wife, Anne Boleyn. He is also the father of Mary I, also known as Bloody Mary, daughter of Catherine of Aragon. Mary was a dedicated Catholic, and when she came to the throne attempted to return the country to Catholicism. In the process, she burned over 300 protestants at the stake for heresy. Her half sister Elizabeth ascended the throne at her death in 1558, returning the country to Protestantism.

You must first find the cell phone and after you talk to the Doctor you go and tell Bella Goth [the lady in the red dress in the shop that looks sad] that you need a place to stay and she will tell you that you can to buy her house. She will say it is for sale for NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND dollars but in the end she will sell it for CHEAP! [I got mine for 5 dollars] After you have the house you go to the cop with the do-nuts that he asked for and get a ride to your new neighborhood!

Who was the father of Queen Elizabeth I?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Queen Elizabeth I was the daughter of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, the second Tudor monarch to grace the English throne. Born Henry Tudor in 1491 at Greenwich Palace, Henry VIII was the youngest son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. Given his unfortunate birth order, he was never expected to become king. Life circumstances were not in his favour. It would only be upon his older brother's untimely death that he would find himself an heir to the throne. In his youth Henry was ambitious, energetic and intellectually gifted; a trait he most assuredly passed along to his daughter Elizabeth. When he was not busy with his studies and mastering multiple foreign languages, Henry enjoyed writing books and music and was an advocate for the arts. Although it is most likely a falsity, the composition "Greensleeves" is often attributed to Henry VIII. When he was 10, Henry attended the wedding celebration of his older brother, Arthur, and his bride, Catherine of Aragon. Like all heirs to the English throne, the couple travelled to Wales where they would live in matrimony. The unity, however, was short-lived, with Arthur passing away after four short months. Henry succeeded to the throne, bringing with him a young, vigorous spirit that would be lost in his later years. Henry inherited a stable realm from his father and interim ruler, but unlike other English monarchs, who were celebrated for noble war victories and raising England's status as a dominant European power, Henry is most often remembered for his six wives. Henry was not quite 18-years-old when he became king, but soon married his brother's widow. Catherine had only given Henry a daughter, Mary, born in 1516. This was unacceptable to Henry, who longed for a son and male heir. After divorcing Catherine, Henry married Anne Boleyn, who would later give birth to Elizabeth I. Like Catherine of Aragon, she, too, was unable to produce a son. Anne was executed for infidelity in 1536, allowing Henry to marry again; this time to Jane Seymour. She would also die, while giving birth to Henry's only living son, Edward VI. Henry took three more wives before his death: Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr, who was a caring queen and took adequate care of Henry and his children. Often shown as overweight and stern, Henry was a formidable father, and was the first English king that demanded being addressed as "Your Majesty." Despite being overshadowed by his love affairs, Henry managed to strengthen the monarchy and pass several important pieces of legislation that broke the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. England was united under his rule, yet Henry created many bitter enemies abroad. In the end it would be Elizabeth left to cope with her father's mixed legacy. Her father was Henry VIII. Henry VIII
Henry VIII was the father of Elizabeth I.

Why did Mary imprison her sister Queen Elizabeth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Elizabeth was the third in line for the throne after Henry VIII's death. She was a protestant heir to the throne and Mary who was the Catholic monarch before her was afraid that she would attempt to over throw her and place herself on the throne as a Protestant Queen. Mary imprisoned Elizabeth in 1554 because she was thought to have been involved in a Protestant plot against Mary that was lead by Sir Thomas Wyatt. She was released a short time later, I believe it was 8 weeks later, with no charge but was placed under house arrest.
