What year was anne bolyn exucuted?
Anne Boleyn (b. c1501-07) was beheaded at the Tower of London, on 19 May 1536, going bravely to her death (even joking the night before about how slim her neck was) and executed by an expert French swordsman who Henry had ordered, to give her a quick and more merciful execution. Anne's remains were put in an arrow chest and buried in the church of St. Peter ad Vincula, at the Tower. Her grave was originally unmarked, but during Victorian renovations her remains were identified and there is now a marker over her resting place.
Who was the capricious English king who tiered 5 of his 6 wives?
Henry VIII. He was not capricious, he was desperate for a wife who could bear him a son to succeed him. Nor did he 'tire' of his wives: two he pensioned off handsomely, remaining on friendly terms with them; one died at childbirth, much to his grief; two he had beheaded for adultery - one of them almost certainly only the victim of gossip and court intrigue - and the last one remained his wife for the rest of his life.
What was Henry VIII's react when the pope refused to annul his marriage?
He started a new church, the church of England.
Anglican Catholic Answer!
Henry sought an annulment, not a divorce! Neither did he seek one from a ,'Catholic,' source, he sought one from a bishop of the Suburbicarian Church of Rome! This is that particular section of the Catholic Church that exists on the mainland of Italy and covers the three main Islands. It is only a part, or branch of the ancient Church.
After the Emperor kept the pope in prison, Henry went to his own local,'Particular,' Church and asked his own Bishop, or Metropolitan for an annulment!
What was 'the break from rome'?
The Break With Rome was caused as Henry VIII wanted a Son to take to the heir after him. His wife at the time couldn't give birth and he asked the Pope for a divorce, he refused and Henry was not happy so he sacked the Pope and the newly appointed Arch Bishop of Canterbury gave Henry a divorce.

Which wife of Henry VIII had four husbands?
King Henry VIII of England married six times. His fourth wife was Anne of Cleves. Anne of Cleves
This is the info that I could get:
Anne of Cleves (divorced)
Born: 22 September, 1515 at Dusseldorf, Cleves, Germany.
Nationality: German
Married Henry:6 January, 1540 at Greenwich Palace, London.
Divorced: 9 July, 1540
Died: 16 July,1557 at Chelsea Old Palace, London
Buried: Westminster Abbey.
Anne was born in 1515 in the small north German state of Cleves (close to the border of Holland). Her parents were John III of Cleves and Marie of Julich. Anne married Henry in 1540 to form a tie between England and the Protestant princes of Germany. After only six months Henry found the political alliance no longer to be to his advantage and so divorced her the same year. She died in 1557.
Anne of Cleves. She and Henry were married in 1540 but the marriage was not a success. Henry found her unappealing on just about every level. The marriage had been arranged largely for purposes of political alliance. The marriage negotiations took a long time and by the time Anne had arrived in England the need for the alliance which she represented was already passing. Henry claimed the marriage had never been consummated and he saw little reason to remain tied to Anne for life. She was very sensible about all this and settled for the title of "King's sister" and a comfortable endowment.
King Henry VIII's fourth wife was Anne of Cleves. The King agreed to marry her based upon a portrait, but upon seeing her, he decided he could not be happy with her as he was not physically attracted to Anne. Based on the news that Anne had previously been betrothed to another Francis of Lorraine, the King sought an annulment from Anne. She agreed to the terms of the annulment and was given a generous settlement including Hever castle. In addition, she was granted the title of the King's Beloved Sister. Besides the King's future wives and daughters, Anne of Cleves was held in the highest esteem of Henry.
It was Anne of Cleves.
Anne Of Cleeves was Henry's fourth wife, for only six months in 1540, from January 6th to July 9. She has become known as "The Flanders Mare" because the king is said to have disliked her appearance. Her pre-contract of marriage with Francis, Duke of Lorraine, was cited as grounds for an annulment. Anne agreed to this, claiming that the marriage had not been consummated, and she was given a generous settlement, including Hever Castle, former home of Henry's former in-laws, the Boleyns. She was given the name "The King's Sister", and became a friend to him and his children. She outlived both the king and his last two wives.
After the tragic death of his third wife, Jane Seymour, who died after giving birth to their son Edward; Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) was eventually persuaded to marry again. However, this fourth wife, Anne of Cleves (1515 - 1557) a German noblewoman, was chosen via a portrait Henry had commissioned, and when he saw her in the flesh, he was extremely unhappy with her appearance (he called her "the Flanders Mare"). Although he went ahead with marrying Anne on 6 January 1540, he refused to consummate the marriage, so this was annulled, but at least Anne of Cleves was generously "paid off" and did not lose her head.

Was king Henry VIII a bad king?
Henry VIII is second only to his daughter, Elizabeth I, as the best known monarch in English history. Henry has been featured in some 18 films since the 1920s, and currently the subject of a Showtime dramatic series, The Tudors. The details of his life, both private and public, are VERY well documented and known.
Henry was certainly a tyrant. He was without a doubt a devoted student of Machiavelli. Well before the doctrine of "The Divine Right of Kings" had become an accepted political reality, Henry made himself an absolute king; ruling with little regard for advice from his courtiers or Parliament Any who stood in his way suffered greatly; often with their lives.
Henry was a strong-willed and single-minded king. He spent his life and long reign as king in the pursuit of female companionship; and in securing a male heir to continue the Tudor dynasty. Secondary to these dual obsessions was his desire for wealth and temporal glory; and the establishment and maintenance of his absolute power.
Anyone or any institution that stood in the way of these goals; or any other whim of Henry's was ground beneath his iron will.
To secure a male heir and marry the woman he desired, he tore England away from allegiance from the Catholic faith; though the vast majority of his subjects were loyal to that faith. In so doing, he condemned England to nearly a century of religious upheavals; both within and without his court and dynasty.
To his credit, Henry can be considered the father of the British navy; starting the shipbuilding program that would continue under Elizabeth I, and during her reign save England from Spanish invasion and almost certain conquest.

What sort of person would ring bells in church?
bellringer, toller, carillonneur, chimer, signaller, tower captain, sexton
Answerbellringer, toller, carillonneur, chimer, signaller, tower captain, sexton___________________
Nobody came up with 'campanologist'!. Most churches only have 'tolling' bells that just swing back and forth, or carillions, which are operated with wires and hammers. A full peal of bells is much more complex and and is found in many older churches and cathedrals in the UK and Ireland. A ringing bell can be paused at the top of its swing, which goes more than 360 degrees, allowing for complex patterns and sequences. Bells are controlled and timed by trained bell ringers, campanologists. A bell tower is called a 'campanile', such as the famous one in Trinity College Dublin, although that just has a mechanical bell. St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin (Anglican) has a very large peal of bells, and the sound of bells on great occasions is a wonderful experience.
What was the connection between between the English church and Henry viii?
Initially it was quite good. His 1521 publication Assertio Septem Sacramentorum ("Defence of the Seven Sacraments") earned him the title of Fidei Defensor (Defender of the Faith) from Pope Leo X.
When he decided to divorce his first wife, the relationship went sour. The Pope would not grant a divorce or annulment, so Henry broke from the Catholic church and founded the Church of England.
Was any of Henry VIII Wives Catholic?
Yes, Cathatrine of Aragon and Ane of Cleves were. Catharine was devout and outspoken about her faith, however Anne was very wise and was quiet about her religion- Henry was a devout Protestant.
Who else was Catherine Parr married to before Henry VIII?
Catherine's second husband was Henry VIII, Catherine was previously married to Arthur Henrys older brother. But unfortunately Arthur died shortly after marrying Catherine and it is said the marriage wasnt consumated so once Henry became king he wanred to marry Catherine.
The last mention of her was when she was around two years old and was in the care of Katherine Brandon Duchess of Suffolk, and as she is never mentioned again it is generally assumed that she died when she was aged between 2 and 4. However some people claim that she lived and went on to marry and have children but there is no evidence for this and had she lived you would have thought that this would have been recorded or mentioned somewhere.
Who would be king if Edward VIII did not abdicate?
It's difficult to give a definitive reply about a 'what if' that never happened so some assumptions have to be made.
He died in 1972 without issue (ie, no children). As his brother (George VI) died in 1952, then the current Queen Elizabeth II would have succeeded to the throne.
