A Flanders Mare is not the graceful and delicate horse of a queen. In Medieval times, Belgium Horses were prized in wars for their tremendous size and strength.
These heavy, war-like draft horses were typically black and ranged from colors to bay, bay-brown to chestnut.
They were rarely lighter colors like they are today. Many accounts report that Anne was of a darker skin tone, the opposite of the beauty ideal of the time.
When Henry asked Lord Russell what he thought of his new bride he replied that 'I take her not for fair, but to be of a brown complexion.'
so in short Henry compared Anne to a Belgium Horse/mare

Where was king henry the eighth king in?
Depends. If you mean Henry VIII, as in the one who married 6 wives and had three beheaded, was the father of Elizabeth, Edward, and Mary, then he was king of England. I'm sure, however, that there have been several other Henrys in history of other countries. You should add more details to distinguish him from his various counterparts.
Who was the second child of Henry the eighth?
It really depends is you are only counting his three legitimate children, Mary, Elizabeth and Edward. If this is what you are looking for, his third child is Edward, the next Tudor king of England.
However, he undoubtedly fathered many illegitimate children (one known, Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Somerset) and legitimate children that died within a few months of being born.
If you count all of his known children that lived, his third child is Elizabeth, as Henry was born before Mary.
What did King Henry VIII become the Supreme Head of?
The Church of England
In May 1532 the Church of England agreed to surrender its legislative independence and canon law to the authority of the monarchy. In 1533 the Statute in Restraint of Appeals removed the right of the English clergy and laity to appeal to Rome (The Pope), on matters of matrimony, tithes and oblations. It also gave authority over such matters to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. This finally allowed Thomas Cranmer, the new Archbishop of Canterbury, to issue Henry's annulment; and upon procuring it, Henry married Anne Boleyn. Pope Clement VII excommunicated Henry VIII in 1533.
In 1534 the Act of Submission of the Clergy removed the right of all appeals to Rome, effectively ending the Pope's influence. The first Act of Supremacy confirmed Henry by statute as the Supreme Head of the Church of England in 1536. (Due to clergy objections the contentious term "Supreme Head" for the monarch later became "Supreme Governor of the Church of England" - which is the title held by the reigning monarch to the present.)
Such constitutional changes made it not only possible for Henry to have his marriage annulled but also gave him access to the considerable wealth that the Church had amassed.

How did the fire of rome start?
The great fire of Rome spread so quickly because most houses in ancient Rome were made of wood, which is extremely flammable. In addition to the wooden structures, they also had many household and store goods which were flammable and added to the rapid spread and difficulty in extinguishing the fire. However the most devastating aspect of the fire was spontaneous combustion. It was summer, a hot and dry summer. When the fire started to spread it gave off more heat in addition to the summer's heat. This excessive heat, combined with the flammable materials used in most homes and shops, caused the spontaneous combustion. There have been experiments proving that this could and more than likely did happen.

When did King Henry VIII form the Church of England?
Henry VIII founded the church of England in 1534 after he broke away from the Catholic Church. Henry wanted to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon but the Pope refused. Therefore Henry denounced Catholicism and passed the Act of Supremacy in 1534 CE.
Henry was suppose to have been quite dashing. He had red hair with blue eyes and was tall. As a young man he was very strong and liked sports. Reports have him as a good dancer and he certainly seemed did well with the ladies. I imagine in his younger years he was really something to see or meet.
no one is sure exactly why the Mary Rose capsized. We know that she was very overloaded, carrying 700 rather than the 400 crew she was built to carry. Once the ship began to tip to one side, after turning sharply, seawater poured in the gunports. Perhaps the crew were not obeying orders, for just before the ship went down the captain shouted that he had the sort of knaves he could not rule

Anglican Catholic Answer!
Henry didn't separate from the Catholic Church. There had been a schism in 1054 when the Pope broke with the Eastern ,[Orthodox,] Church.
For some two hundred or so years, there had been much dissatisfaction with the position of the pope within the Catholic Church. There had been several Councils caused to study and regularise the Bishop of Rome's position.What Henry did do was to appear to support the anti- papal line, that authority within the Catholic Church lies in the College of Bishops and the Seven Ecumenical Councils. This iis the Anglican Position even today!
Roman Catholic AnswerThe effects were dreadful. Many martyrs were created. Henry dissolved monasteries, confiscated Church property and tortured and killed all those who remained loyal to the Catholic Church and the Sacrifice of the Mass. He martyred priests, monks, nuns, and lay people. The effects were long lasting as the children of those heretics who deserted the Church to follow the crown were denied the sacraments, and many have been raised in the Church of England with no real knowledge of their historic faith.According to The Tudors Org website:
Several types of cheese were available. Hard cheeses were made from skimmed mild, soft cheeses were made from whole milk. All of these dairy products were deemed inferior foods and therefore only to be eaten by the Tudor poor and lower classes.
So it is very unlikely that Henry VIII (or any of the Tudors/medieval royalty) would have tasted cheese.
Ah, they missed out :o)
Why did the the pilgrimage of grace fail in 1536-1537?
