Anne was Henry VIIIs 4th wife. The marriage was not in any way a success. I have just read the link & found out she was the longest lived of all Henrys' wives, outliving Catherine Parr by 9 years. So thats' todays new piece of vital info catered for ! Anne of Cleves married Henry VIII in an arranged marriage, intended to strengthen the alliance between England and Germany. Unfortunately, Henry found her deeply unattractive and the marriage only lasted 6 months.

Anne of Cleves was well treated by Henry, she was given the house which had belonged to the family of his second wife, Anne Boleyn, and was accorded the title "The King's Sister."

Henry VIII's second wife, Anne Boleyn, was tried and convicted of treason, witchcraft and incest. She was executed by beheading. Most historians believe she was completely innocent and the charges were brought against her by her enemies at court and those who wished to gain the King's favour by enabling him to marry again.

Henry's fifth wife did have affairs with other men before and after her marriage. She was also tried and convicted of treason and was executed by beheading.

They had one daughter who became Elizabeth I of England. Anne miscarried three children, one of which was a boy. She miscarried the boy because of the fright she experienced when she received news that Henry fell when in a jousting tournament and went unconscious for a few hours.

Anne of Cleves died aged 42 on the 16th July 1557 after becoming ill in the early spring of 1557. She is the only one of Henry VIII's wives to be buried in Westminster Abbey, and her grave is on the south side of the high altar.

King Henry VIII asked the Pope for a divorce form his first wife, Catherine or Aragon, so that he could marry Anne Boleyn. When the Pope refused, Henry broke away from the Catholic Church, divorced Catherine, and formed the Church of England.

Henry didn't challenge the Catholic Church, he simply took a stand on a principle that had been discussed for some 1500 years. That is the question of the Pope's authority, where did the magisterium , or authority, lie within the Catholic Church, the Body of Christ here on earth.

In the early Church authority had been passed from the apostles to the college of bishops, for five hundred years the road had been clear, but slowly over the last centuries, authority had ben slipping in to the hands of the papacy?

Was it genuine? For two or three hundred years it had been discussed acutely, in General Councils and Colleges all over Europe. Henry had made his point that in his opinion, the canons of the Ecumenical Councils,[Nice 6,] still held good. He believed in the Ecumenical Councils when he and the English Church made their point that ," "The Bishop of Rome hath not by Scripture any greater authority over the Church of England than any other Bishop."

That was the challenge posed to the Catholic Church by Henry and the Church in England, was the Church in Western Europe to be abandoned to the medieval accretions seized on and promoted by the papacy, or were the old ways of the apostolic age to be preserved for posterity?

(Bloody) Mary was in power, followed by Elizabeth I

It was called 'The mary rose'

the three problems were: i want a son, i need money and i want power

Henry VIII needed a male heir and he had difficulty siring one. The male child he did manage to sire, died. This left him with two daughters; Bloody Mary who ruled for a short time and then passed away, and Elizabeth R who eventually took the throne and who had an effective and long reign as Queen of England.

Henry's first problem caused his second problem, IE. his fight with the Pope when he persisted in wanting to put aside a wife who couldn't give him a male heir. Henry solved this problem by beheading a few of them as each failed to "do her duty".

Eventually, the breach with the Vatican became so bad that the Pope caused his third problem. He excommunicated Henry. Not to be out done, Henry left the Church and started his own church with himself as head.

In addition, Henry's love of the good life caused his weight to balloon and he developed gout; a very painful affliction which probably did little to appease his already sweet nature.

do you have hair?......

he didnt take the throne from anybody. His father Henry VII died in 1509 making Henry as his eldest surviving male child king. His father (Henry VII- not very imaginative, i know!) however took the throne from Richard the III

Henry had to face many problems such as his marriage to his late brother's wife Catherine of aragon who Henry's was directed to marry. Henry never loved Catherine but he had to stay with her because he was not allowed to divorce her because the pope wouldn't let him so Henry made himself head of his own church so he could go through with the divorce. although Henry was in love with someone else and that someone was Anne Boleyn , the woman who was rumoured to be a witch for have six fingers on one hand and an extra nipple. Henry had now had two girls Mary and Elisabeth . but yet he wanted a son but did he get it of course he got one but his beloved wife Jane Seymour had died during childbirth

Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) was Henry VIII's fifth wife, and a great deal younger than Henry (1491 - 1547). Henry and Catherine were married on 28 July 1540. Catherine was not only a cousin of the ill fated Anne Boleyn (Henry's second wife) but was a niece of the Duke of Norfolk. Henry was extremely 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 eventual 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 and then sent to Syon House. 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, to join that of her cousin Anne Boleyn.

Henry VIII married Katherine Parr, his last wife, on 12 July 1543. Henry died on 28 January 1547

Quite a few, actually:

1. She spoke little English.

2. King Henry VIII chose her to be his queen from a portrat.

3. She was the fourth wife of Henry.

4. She was very ugly. Henry called her the "Mare of Flanders"

5. She rode with Elizibeth on her way to Mary's coranation.

6. She was one of only two wives to live after Henry died (the other one being Henry's last wife, Katherine Parr)

boys wore girls clothes because they had to. apparently, they had to wear girls clothes until the age of nine - thats when they were able to act like adults - even though that might sound a bit too young!!

Ojukwu's first wife is Njideka, a native of Nawfia, a town near Awka in Anambra State in the late 50's. The marriage lasted as far as shortly after he relocated to Cote de Ivoire after the Nigerian civil war. Two of the three children from this marriage are named Emeka (Jnr) and Okigbo.

Henry says his wife is at home. He mentions that she is busy with household responsibilities and unable to join him at that moment. This reflects his understanding of her role and the demands of their domestic life.

Do you mean Henry Benedict Stuart, a grandson of James II, and brother of Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie), who became a Roman Catholic Cardinal?

If so, "Henry IX" as he might well have become if James II had stayed insitu on the throne; was born on 11 March 1725 and died on 13 July 1807.

She was Catholic

Monasteries were important centers of religious, cultural, and educational life in medieval Europe. They preserved and copied ancient texts, thus playing a crucial role in the transmission of knowledge. Additionally, monasteries often provided social services, such as education, healthcare, and aid to the poor, making them vital to local communities. Their influence extended beyond spirituality, shaping agricultural practices and contributing to the economy.

What an ODD question!

*edit* What a terrible answer. If you have nothing to say, then say NOTHING.

I have heard this rumor that Henry VIII's sixth wife Catherine Parr had a third smaller and undeveloped breast or nipple, but have yet to see any evidence to support it. (don't always listen to everything your teachers tell you children)

It was also widely rumored in the days of Henry VIII that Anne Boleyn had a sixth (tiny undeveloped)finger as well as three nipples. These were considered common signs of being a witch and we can only guess as whether it was true or not since there were so many lapses in logic with the "reasons" behind beheading Anne.

She had 1, King Edward

Marry Jane is a character from Spider-Man,Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3.

She didn't divorce him. He divorced her because she was his brother's wife and he thought god would be angry at him.
