Edward I became king after King Henry III. Edward I ruled from 1274 to 1296. He ruled again from 1297 until his death in 1307.

The Act of Supremacy made Henry VIII the head of England's church for the duration of his reign.

I read once, a long time ago, that the last words spoken by King Henry VIII were: "Monks, Monks, Monks".

He married Anne Boelyn because his first wife, Katherine of Aragon, had passed of the age of having children and had only had one child, a daughter named Mary, but Henry wanted a son to rule when he died. So he married Anne Boelyn in hope of having a son by her.

Henry VIII had several children with different women. With his first wife Catherine of Aragon he had Princess Mary, later Queen Mary I. With second wife Anne Boleyn he had another daughter, Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth I. With his third wife Jane Seymour he had a son, Prince Edward, later King Edward VI. He also had an illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy, with his mistress Elizabeth Blount.

Judicial murder is how Henry VIII got rid of Anne Boleyn. Essentially Thomas Cromwell drew up charges against he which were more than likely false due to the fact that even though Catherine of Aragon had died, the powers on the continent still would not recognize Elizabeth as a legitimateheir, and Anne had miscarried 2 more children since Elizabeth in the short time they had been married and so he felt as though there was something that had to be wrong with his marriage to Anne as there was with his Marriage to Catherine, or it could have been that He wanted to marry Jane Seymour and as Anne was his subject it was easier to behead her than it would be to start a lengthy annulment process as he did with Catherine because in Catherine's case she had powerful relatives such as the Holy Roman Emperor of which Henry would have had to deal with if she were done away with in same fashion. Interestingly enough, the two wives of which he did behead were both his subjects, and did not have relations in power outside of England, Catherine Parr his last wife almost went to the scaffold as well, the only thing that saved her was that Henry had a change of heart right before the arrestwarrantwas to be served.

Henry VIII divorced Katherine of Aragon because she seemed unable to produce a male heir to the throne. She was too old to have any more children.

Also, i think, she was Henry's brother's widow, and in the bible it says not to marry your brothers widow.

Cardinal wolsey, then Thomas More

Catharine Parr is believed to have died from Puerperal Sepsis (also called Childbed fever) after giving birth to her daughter Mary Seymour.

Puerperal fever is a common infection among birthing mothers; and can be fatal. With modern medicine it is easily treated; but in the 16th century there was no effective treatment for it.

Henry 8th took over the palace from the Cardinal Wolsey in 1528

Henry VIII was the youngest son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. He was spoiled as a child because his brother, Arthur, was heir to the throne. That changed when Arthur died as a teenager. Henry was then pushed into the role of his dead brother. Henry married his brothers widow Catherine of Aragon not long after his fathers death and the two were crowned at Westminster.


As a young king he was thin, athletic, very intelligent, and red headed. Henry had a love for sports including tennis, jousting, and hunting. Henry was fluent in French, Latin, and Spanish. He had many horses, dogs, and falcons. And was also a lover of music and poetry.

Henry went to war several times through out his reign. Mostly with France and Scotland. He increased the British Navy from 5 ships to 53 ships.

Henry is most remembered for his liasons and wives. Henry married 6 times. He beheaded two wives, divorced two wives, one died, and one survived.

Henry also created the Church of England when the Pope refused to grant him a divorce from Catherine on the basis that it had never been valid.

Henry was in desperate need for a male heir and that as most of his reasoning for his divorces. He ended up having one illigetament son, Henry Fitzroy. Two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth. And one son, Edward. Henry Fitzroy would die of the sweat as a child. And all three other children inherited the throne. None of which would have any children of there own.

Henry was said to have had several other children out of wedlock but never chose to acknowledge them.

To some, Henry VIII was a strong and ruthless ruler.

An opposing opinion would be that Henry the 8th was a fat, blood thirsty man as he killed two of his wives and many of his friends.

Catherine of Aragon was queen from June 25th 1509 until about January 1533. So her reign was approximately 23 years.

As I recollect, she wasn't divorced, she was beheaded for suspected adultery.

Because in those days, the average age of people was shorter - Henry VIII was considered to be huge, and he had a rough height of 6ft. That answers the door question... Beds were shorter because back then people sat almost upright in bed, supported by pillows. This is because they believed that if you lay down flat on your bed, that was the position of the dead, so your soul would come out through your mouth and you would die, or the devil would enter through your mouth.

Henry the eighth's first wife Catherine of Aragon gave birth to Mary the first who eventually became Queen of England from 1553-1558.

because Henry wants a son but Cathrine is too old to produce a son. Henry wants a son so he could inherate and become king

Her name was Mary Tudor, she became queen after Edward, Henry's son, died. She married the king of Spain, but never had an hier, upon her death her sister queen Elizabeth I took the throne instead of her husband due to popular demand of the people. She was known as bloody Mary because of what she did to the Protestants, and her mother was not Anne bolyen, but Catherine of aragon.

in fact Henry had about 7 sons

6 from Katherine died through birth and Edward stayed alive

His third queen, Jane Seymour, gave birth to Edward who eventually became King Edward. He was Henry's only legitimate son.

It is known that Henry also fathered a son by Bessie Blount but as this son was illegitimate he could not take his place in the line of succession. He was, however, given the title of Duke of Richmond (if memory serves me correctly).

There may well have been other illegitimate sons.
