The Catholic Church does not permit divorce. Catholics in England did not recognize the divorce, and therefore viewed Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn as adultery. The Roman Catholic Church does not recognize divorce. Catholics believed that Henry VIII was still married to Catherine of Aragon, and therefore that his relationship with Anne Boleyn was adultery and their daughter, Elizabeth, therefore, a bastard, not qualified to become the queen.

Catherine Howard - Fifth wife of Henry VIII:
Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) was much younger than Henry VIII (1491 - 1547). They married on 28 July 1540. She made the treasonable mistake of having an affair with a cousin of her mother's, Thomas Culpepper. When King Henry was given the details of her adultery, he is said to have cried, as he had always thought of Catherine as his "rose without a thorn". Catherine (a cousin of Anne Boleyn's) was beheaded at the Tower of London on 13 February 1542, having asked for the block to be brought to her the night before, so that she could practice placing her head upon it.
Who was the first king of Ireland?
In terms of the temporal, this is debatable, as Irish genealogy stretches much further back than written records, which did not exist in Ireland before the time of Christ. The answer is therefore uncertain. The first High King of the entire island of Ireland of whose historiciity we can be totally certain was perhaps Niall Noigiallach (in English, Niall of the Nine Hostages) who ruled in the fifth century. There are numerous earlier kings listed in early Irish histories, but we cannot be certain of the accuracy of the accounts given of these kings. Niall Noigiallach is also said to have ruled parts of Britain, including the Irish colony which eventually conquered the whole of northern Britain and founded Scotland.
However it must be noted that the vast majority of Irish people, being Roman Catholic, adhere to the believe that Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, is, was and always will be, the one and only Queen of Ireland.

What did King Louis the XIV use the Palace of Versailles for?
After an unpleasant experience with mobs as a child, Louis XIV hated Paris with its crowds. Versailles was a place were he could be away from the dangerous mobs and enjoy the scenery.
Secondly, under Louis XIV France was flourishing. It is not for nothing that this Louis is referred to as the Sun King. Versailles was a place to stun Europe, unrivalled in size, decoration, cost and splendour. It was the Jewel of France and it made clear that France was a powerful state with few rivals.
Thirdly, Louis forced most of his nobles to have apartments in Versailles - Its size enabled him to do so. This meant that all the nobles were under his eye and away from their own lands, reducing significantly the risk of them revolting against him.
Lastly, it suited his own personal sense of majesty and drama. King Louis XIV was the Sun of Versailles - it revolved around him. The entire complex was a place where his every move could take place in a suitably grand setting.
Therefore, Louis XIV used Versailles as his headquarters. It was the centre of Government in France and a stage where the French and foreigners could witness the power, wealth and majesty of the Sun King.
