Henry VIII

There is an old poem that tells about Henry VIII as a husband:

King Henry VIII, to six wives was wedded,

One lived,

One died,

Two divorced,

Two beheaded.

Christina of Denmark, who was approached about marrying HenryVIII, said she would marry him if she had two heads.

Henry VIII married on June 11, 1509 to Catharina van Aragon, which was the widow of his brother. So the answer is: the 16th century.

The monasteries were dissolved for a number of reasons:

* Henry VIII was basically bankrupt following wars with France and needed to raise capital. Dissolution of the monasteries, seizure of their land would bring in capital.

* Smaller (less profitable) monasteries were dissolved first. The process masqueraded as a purifying mission to rid the new Anglican church of the sorts of excesses which had been recently criticised by Luther Et Al throughout Europe.

* Following the break with Rome, all of this was a lot easier as Henry did not have anyone to answer to regarding clerical issues. (It should be noted that dissolution of monasteries was not necessarily religiously motivated)

* Monasteries were a central part of the local communities. By eradicating these, Henry was essentially centralizing English society; a form of capitalism often debated as 'Absolute' rule. (i.e. dictatorship)

King Henry arranged his daughters marrige because king James was the king of Scotland and king Henry wanted his family to rule as meany countrys as possible.

when did henry bessemer marry

Well, early in life he wasn't as big as you see in portraits of him towards the end of his life. At the beginning he was handsome, athletic and fit. But after he fell off a horse while hunting, he stopped exercising. So he ate but didn't work out. Towards the end of his life he weighed a good 400 pounds with a 54" inch waist give or take.

Henry VIII's surname wasTudor that's why his Father was called Henry Tudor and reining from Henry VII to Elizabeth I was called the Tudor Rein

Henry was a very fun-loving person, he loved sport and hunting while he was young, and when he was old it was a burden to him that he could no longer be athetic. He was scholarly, and studied religion, he considered himself a buff on the subject. He would have told you he was very pious, and he did go to many masses a day, throughout his life. He was very selfish,vain, in his older years he was very tempermental, one moment happy and the next upset. He was very sensitive, and was also a warm, caring person. I dislike it when people simply name him as "evil", when they in fact do not know enough about him to make such a judgement. He was a man, with all the flaws we all have. But I believe that, all in all, Henry was a good man.

Answer: Properly speaking her name is Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise Windsor Laurence. However, she is normally styled either 'The Princess Anne' or 'The Princess Royal' (a title given to her by the Queen on 13th June 1987).

Henry made money from stealing from monastries. He founded Christ Church College- one of the most famous in the country. His advisors took the blame when he framed Anne Boleyn for treason so he kept his popularity with his English subjects. He made good allies with Germany when he let Anne of Cleves stay in England and made her his honarary 'sister'. He was consisdered to be one of the most handsome monarchs. He founded the English navy and helped keep England safe. Made himself head of the church of England and was later made Supreme Head of Church. He forged a union with Wales. He made England a strong and powerful country. Was the father of the greatest ever English monarch (Elizabeth I).

Hope this helps :)

Most protestants don't hate the pope himself but none don't believe in the authority of the pope and his infallibility. Some in the past have experienced bad popes on the throne and pass on the stereotype that all popes are bad.

Some of the bad things Henry VII did: . Broke from the pope . closed down all monasteries and convents . Executed 2 of his 6 wives . spent all of his money the second he got it instead of saving it for a bad time

Pope Gregory VII took the position that the Church was separate from and superior to secular institutions, such as the laws of kings and emperors. He also took a strong and effective stand against simony, the practice of selling positions in the Church, and in favor of celibate priests.

There is a link to an article on the reforms of Pope Gregory VII below.

The general concensus is that by the time of his death Henry was not a good man. In 1509 when he was eighteen and had just become king he could probably be classed as a good man as he wanted to do right by the country and also have fun with his new found freedom/power/wealth. This lasted up until the time when he decided to divorce Katherine of Aragon when he became incensed due to things not going his way with the ease that he expected. From this point on things got worse for Henry as he injured himself jousting so had a very painful ulcer on his leg which prevented him from walking and riding. Some even go so far as to say that he suffered some sort of brain damage after his fall and that this was what led to him becoming more unpredictable and ruthless.

nope. Not Henry VIII but Edward VIII, and that's in 1936. Henry VIII was excommunicated by the Church of Rome, for divorcing his first wife, to marry Ann Boleyn, in an attempt to have a son to be his heir. He never abdicated, and his 6th wife survived him.

they met in court

Henry VIII was married to Catherine of Aragon and they had one daughter, Mary. Catherine had had several miscarriages and had not given birth to a son and heir. After Henry VIII took Anne Boleyn as a mistress he asked Pope Clement VII to annul his marriage to Catherine on the grounds that she was married to his brother first. When the Pope refused, Henry broke away from the Catholic Church and began the Church of England so that he could divorce Catherine and marry Anne.

Henry VIII went to war with France and Scotland!

They were all Tudors. Another Answer: Mary and Elizabeth were the daughter of Henry VIII. Mary by Cathrine of Aragon and Elizabeth by Anne Boleyn.

Yes. He was VERY jealous!

The main reason was that he wanted to take power from the catholic church due to the pope denying him a divorce from Catherine of Aragon Also the looting of churches and monasteries helped bolster the royal coffers Interestingly if you look at protestant nations as opposed to Catholic nations the former have been the more prosperous since the reformation so it was probably the right decision but made for far more personal reasons

The "vernacular" means the common language of the country. The Catholic Mass, until Vatican II, was celebrated in Latin, then it changed to the vernacular (in the USA, English). Protestant services have always been in the vernacular.

yes

2nd Answer:

Yes, after she was Queen, she decided to change the country's religion from Protestant to Roman Catholic. The protestants were outraged and started protesting and petitioning Parliament.

So Mary ended that little rebellion by killing 100 protestant leaders.

BUT, most of Mary's bloody deeds were not even done by her, but rather by a certain Countess Elizabeth Bathroy. Bathroy is said to have bathed now and then in the blood of virgin girls, among other horrible things.

Henry VIII was an absolute monarch, who clearly took the position that by definition he could not commit an illegal act because his will was the law.

Most famously, Henry VIII dealt badly with several of his wives, two of whom he had beheaded.

Controversially, he separated the Church of England from the Church of Rome in order to have his first marriage annulled and marry again. This act was against the laws of the Church of Rome.

He declared himself supreme head of the Church, which clearly was against the Church law. He also interfered in Church practices without reason.

He confiscated property of the Church and monasteries and distributed it to his friends or used it for his own profit.

He had people he thought were opposed to him tortured and executed on grounds that were at least questionable. He made policies and had laws that made questioning certain of his actions treason and punishable by death.

He was excessive in his spending money, which was not illegal, perhaps, but was certainly reckless. He acquired or built 43 palaces.

He debased the currency in order to stretch his resources, and thereby effectively cheated the people of his country for his own greed.

It should be pointed out that these are just a few of the bad or questionable things he did. He did other many other things, some bad, and many good, and was a popular king.
