What problems did Henry VIII's children caused because of their different religious differences?
Henry VIII had six wives, of which three bore children. Mary was born to wife number one (Catherine of Aragon) and was a Roman Catholic. Catherine was unable to produce a male heir, due to a genetic fault on Henry's side, although he had no way of knowing this - and finally Henry wished to divorce her. The Pope refused to annul the marriage, and Henry responded by refusing to acknowledge the authority of the Roman Catholic Church. He set up the Protestant Anglican Church, making the King the head of the church, and giving himself the authority to divorce Catherine.
He did so, and married Anne Boleyn to the condemnation of the Pope. This marriage produced Elizabeth - but no surviving male. Enraged, Henry found fault (largely imagined) with Anne and had her executed. He then married Jane Seymour, who produced the longed-for male, dying in childbirth. Edward, always weak, did survive to become King.
Mary, the eldest, was second in line behind Edward but view him, as did all Catholics as illegitimate. To consolidate his position, Henry had had all Catholic monastries and churches that would not accept his authority flattened and their assets seized - which meant that Edward would have to persecute Catholics afterwards. By the same token, Elizabeth, who also had to remain Protestant to keep her third in line position was a perceived threat to Mary.
Thus distrust and emnity between the three of them was guaranteed.
What did Henry the 8th spend his money on?
Henry did what all the Kings and Princes did,especially with the money from the monasteries and nunneries, he stole it, for himself and the nobility. All over Europe it was the usual thing from the people who held power to rob the Church! It wasn't the English Monarch only that indulged, one of the reasons for thee dissatisfaction with the Papal Court was their constant demand for money. Take a look at the legislation passed in Henry's time and see what the fuss was over,it was over money in the main. Not that Henry took it, but that he wouldn't let foreign bodies,i.e. the papacy help them selves. Finally we have to see that Henry was a sick man, not for the silly reasons his religious opponents give, but because he'd suffered a tremendous accident. From that time Henry was something of an imbecil, suffering brain damage during that time according to Collier he was exploited by his friends who milked him of money and land.

What did King Henry VIII contribute?
i think his contribution was something like he was the first person to have six wives.
Anglican Catholic Answer!
Henry's contribution? In many ways it is hard to assess ? To the poor who suffered from the economic decline he created it must have been enormous, to all those who became rich or even richer, he must have been a blessing from God, but for those thousands of Anglicans who turned out to defend the monasteries in the Pilgrimage of Grace, he was the devil incarnate! One thing Henry never gave up on, or surrendered was his authority or privilege!
But he made a contribution that is never acknowledged, at least I have never seen it mentioned, other than an odd comment. He and the English Church told the Pope that he had no authority in another bishop's see. This is true, it had caused the Orthodox to leave the Church, [1054,] this papal breaking of the rules, or canons. When HENRY, FOR WHATEVER REASON faced him with the truth, it must have caused the pope an enormous shock. Later when the pope called a Council at Trent,[ 1545,] to salvage something, he didn't invite English Bishops and thus, when the Roman Bishops added to the Deposit of faith, the English were lucky enough not to follow them in to heresy!

How did Catherine howards married end with Henry?
Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) was Henry VIII's fifth wife, and much 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 also a niece of the Duke of Norfolk. Henry was joyfully happy with her, but Catherine made the terrible mistake of apparently having an affair with a cousin of her mother's, Thomas Culpepper, which was a treasonable offence. Henry had always seen Catherine as his "rose without a thorn", despite the gossip about her previous affairs which had taken place when she was younger. Henry was said to have genuinely believed the evidence against Catherine was forged, when the truth was brought to him.
Catherine was apprehended, and was placed in custody on 12 November 1541 and then sent to Syon House. She was demoted as queen on the 22nd November. 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. Due to be executed on the 13th, Catherine asked for the block to be brought to her so that she could practice putting her head upon it. On the 13th February 1542 she went to her execution, which was over very quickly. Her body was placed in the chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula at the Tower, where her cousin, Anne Boleyn, was also interred.

Which one of Henry VIII wives looked like a horse?
After the death of his third wife, Jane Seymour, Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) was eventually persuaded to marry again, but this fourth wife, Anne of Cleves (1515 - 1557) was chosen via a portrait Henry had commissioned from Hans Holbein. When he saw her in the flesh, on New Year's Day 1540, he was extremely unhappy with her appearance, (apparently he called her "the Flanders Mare", although to be fair, she did not look like a horse!). Henry went ahead and married Anne on 6 January 1540, but refused to consummate the marriage, so eventually this was annulled nearly 5 months later. But at least Anne of Cleves was "paid off" and did not lose her head. She received a generous divorce settlement and remained on good terms with the king. Anne died in 1557, with declining health.
