In what year did king Henry order Katherine parr head to be cut off?
Answer
Henry Tudor, better known as King Henry VIII of England, did not "order Katherine Howard's head to be cut off."
Katherine was the fifth of the King's six wives, and she was aged between 15 and 20 when she married him - her exact date of birth is not recorded.
She had affairs with other men before and after her marriage to Henry VIII, and when Henry was told, he at first refused to believe it. Her adultery was held to be treason and she was tried and convicted of this offence by a Court of Law.
She was executed by beheading on 13th February, 1542.

What were people's role in absolute monarchy?
Louis XIV, the brilliant, despotic Sun King of late 17th & early 18th-Century France, summed it up with these words: "L'etat, c'est moi." ("I am the country"). In the age of absolute monarchy, the king was the court of final resort, the maker of laws, chief judge, jury and executioner, maker of internal and foreign policy, and generally considered to be destined by God to rule his particular country. Thomas Hobbes, in his 17th-Century defense of Absolute Monarchy, "Leviathan," preceded Le Roi's sentiments: "For the sovereign is the public soul, giving life and motion to the commonwealth; which [monarch] expiring, the members [of a society] are governed by it no more, than the carcase of a man, by his departed, though immortal, soul."*
