How did Henry the viii son die?
Prince Arthur of Wales (1486 - 1502) the first son of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, and Elizabeth of York, and Henry VIII's older brother, died on 2 April 1502 at the age of 15. It is not completely clear what he died of, but it may have been consumption (TB). He was already married to Princess Catherine of Aragon on 14 November 1501 - so they were married for only 5 months, but after he died, Catherine eventually became betrothed to Henry (they did not get married until 1509). Prince Arthur was laid to rest in Worcester Cathedral, England.
Why was Henry a religious reformer?
Henry changed religion because he wanted money,power and divorce. he made him self head of the church instead of the pope.
Was King Henry VIII a nice person?
Yes, and no. Henry was kind to those whom could serve his interests. Many came into favour and fell almost as quickly. Falling from the good graces of Henry VIII could be very dangerous, just look at the history of his marriages. Henry was never raised and groomed for kingship. He was ill prepared to step into his father's shoes. And yet, he was the catalyst behind the reformation of the church in England. But then, as I said before, it served his purpose to become head of the church of England. And yet, I have found that he is an interesting and captivating character. I have read and re-read everything I can find on the net and in print about the Tudor dynasty. In today's terms, he might be considered a womanizer and a true bonehead, but in his defense, he did father one of England's greatest queens. Elizabeth I.
What happened to Henry VIII's bastard sonWm Fitzroy Duke of Richmond?
After Henry's death, Edward was only 9. He could not rule legally at that age and had to wait until he was 18. At 15, he became very ill and died. Therefore, he never legally took the throne In his Act of Succession, he left his cousin Lady Jane Grey as Queen. She ruled for 9 days. Mary I then took the throne from her and had her beheaded.
Mary Boleyn was Anne Boleyn's older or younger sister. Mary was one of Henry's known mistresses. It is believed that she had two children by him, a fact that cannot be proved due to her marriage to William Carey, at the time of their birth. Henry VIII never officially recognized the children as his own and they took the surname of Carey.
As a note to any who read The Other Boleyn Girl. The Other Boleyn Girl is fiction and if that were not enough it's historically inaccurate!

Did Henry VIII have gonorrhea?
Yes, syphilis was the disease which killed him
No. There is very little evidence, if any that currently proves or even states a strong argument, that Henry VIII had syphilis.
The wound on his leg, which would never heal, was like the result of Diabetes mellitus, and not syphilis.
Also, Henry VIII had mistresses, and affairs but by the standards of a King in his day, he was actually a bit of a prude.
Were did Jane Seymour meet Henry VIII?
Jane Seymour may have first come to court in the service of Queen Catherine, but then was moved to wait on Anne Boleyn as she rose in the King's favor and eventually became his second wife.
In September 1535, the King stayed at the Seymour family home in Wiltshire, England. It may have been there that the king "noticed" Jane. But, it isn't until February of 1536 that there is evidence of Henry's new love for Jane.
By that point, Henry's disinterest in Anne was obvious and Jane was likely pegged to be her replacement as Queen.
Opinion is divided as to how Jane felt about being the new object of Henry's affections. Some see Jane's calm and gentle demeanor as evidence that she didn't really understand the position as political pawn she was playing for her family. Others see it as a mask for her fear. Seeing how Henry's two previous Queens had been treated once they fell from favor, Jane probably had some trepidation, although Anne Boleyn's final fate had not been sealed at that time.
One other view was that Jane fell into her role quite willingly and actively sought to entice the King and flaunt her favor even in front of the current Queen.
However Jane actually felt, we will never know. Henry's feelings were pretty clear though. Within 24 hours of Anne Boleyn's execution, Jane Seymour and Henry VIII were formally betrothed. On the 30th of May, they were married. Unlike Henry's previous two Queens, Jane never had a coronation. Perhaps the King was waiting to Jane to 'prove' herself by giving him a son.
Less than two months after Henry and Jane's marriage, the Duke of Richmond, Henry Fitzroy died at the age of 17. Fitzroy was the King's bastard son by his mistress Elizabeth Blount.
It wasn't until early 1537 that Jane became pregnant. During her pregnancy, Jane's every whim was indulged by the King, convinced that Jane, whom he felt to be his first 'true wife', carried his long hoped for son. In October, a prince was born at Hampton Court Palace and was christened on 15th of October. The baby was named Edward. Mary, daughter of Catherine of Aragon, was godmother and Elizabeth, daughter of Anne Boleyn, also played a role in the ceremony.
There has been much written over whether or not Jane gave birth to Edward by cesarean section. It seems unlikely that if she had, she would have lived as long as she did after the birth. Jane attended her son's christening, although she was weak. She died on October 24th, just two weeks after her son was born.
Henry had already been preparing his own tomb at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, which was where Jane was buried. In the end, she would be the only of Henry's six wives to be buried with him.

Pope St. Gregory I (c.540 - c.604)
For three years, Gregory was in the monastery of St. Andrew. He helped to establish several other monasteries, and followed the Rule of St. Benedict with rigid precision, even to the point of causing physical harm to himself. Eventually, the pope ordained him one of the seven deacons of the city. At this time, they had to gain help from the Emperor at Byzantium in order to defeat the advancing Lombards. Gregory was dispatched along with a special assembly to the permanent ambassador of the court in Byzantium. Gregory remained in Constantinople for six years as an ambassador and learned that Rome had to defend and stand for itself. No longer was Bysantium going to take action and protect Rome and the west.Pope St. Gregory I was pope of the Church from 590 until his death, on March 12, 604. He is also known as "Gregory the Great," (one of only two popes to ever be called "great", the other being Leo the Great) and he was the first to refer to the position of pope as servus servorum Dei, which means "servant of the servants of God."
Gregory was born to a wealthy patrician and his wife who has also been canonized a saint. In his early years, Gregory was well educated and is thought to have been the second best in his studies in the entire city of Rome. His religious home life consisted of his deep studies of Scripture and listening to his elders discuss matters of faith. His time as a youth contributed to his deep devotion for God and the faith. In 573, he took the office of prefect of Rome which was the highest position in the city. Shortly after taking the position, though, Gregory sold all of his possessions and used the money he received in order to care for the poor. In 574, he left public life behind him and became a monk.
In 586 or 585, Gregory returned to Rome and to the monastery of St. Andrews where he became the abbot. During his time there, Gregory led the monastery with great conviction and energy. Gregory became the chief adviser to Pelagius II and during this time, wrote a letter to those who separated from the Church because of disagreement over the Three Chapters. This group, called the schismatical bishops of Istria, was not greatly influenced by the letter.
In 590, Gregory was elected pope, and served for fourteen years. He was the first pope to come from a monastic background, and many of his monastic qualities are e in his Liber Pastoralis Curae, in which he explains the lines of duty a bishop must follow, primarily as the physician of souls. St. Gregory also did work doctrinally, such as his teachings regarding Purgatory, where the soul destined to be purified after death could also undergo a purification in the earthly life through good works and a Christian lifestyle
The pontificate of St. Gregory is also well known for his endeavors to manage the West and spread Christianity. He communicated with the Germanic tribes, as well as sent Augustine of Canterbury to the pagan Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Britain. In doing so, by his death, Christian communities had already begun to grow and foster in these areas.
Gregory I wrote extensively. He spent much of his time focusing on Scripture, where we have 40 sermons on the Gospels as well as others on Ezekiel, Song of Songs, Proverbs, and others. He also wrote Dialogues, a collection of miracles and healings, many of which are from his time as abbot in St. Andrew's monastery in Rome. More than 850 of Gregory's letters are preserved.
Gregory the Great is also a Doctor of the Church, a title given to few for their ecclesiastical writing and the great good their writing has done for the Church. He is also a Latin Church Father, meaning he was a great early theologian of the Church.
What was Jane Seymour children called?
Jane Seymour had only one child(who would later become Edward VI of England) to Henry VIII of England before passing away due to some complications that arose because of childbirth.
Martyrdom, in its traditional sense, refers to the death of someone because of his or her religious beliefs. The term is most commonly used for the early Christians, but also applies to the pagans who were killed when Christianity became dominant. Muslims sometimes refer to a Muslim who dies in the defence of Islam as a martyr.
----------
The word "martyr" is also used metaphorically to refer to someone who seems determined not to change even when it leads to an unfortunate loss or failure. (There is a psychological syndrome known as a "martyr complex", for those determined to sacrifice themselves, although usually not literally.)
Example : "Refusing to wear his tie, Smith became a martyr to the dress code when he was fired by the board."
------------
One use in common culture is as a status (perk) in the video game Call of Duty.
