What was Henry viii relationship with WALES?

Henry VIII was the son of Henry Tudor (Henry VII) who was of Welsh royal stock and took the English throne after the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, which overthrew Richard III, brought an end to the Plantagenent dynasty and placed a Welshman on the throne of England for the first time in history.

Henry married Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV and they had 7 children, of which Henry VIII was the third. Henry VIII was thus half-Welsh.

He was a fluent Welsh speaker, but was responsible for the Act of Union in 1536 which effectively abolished Wales as a seperate nation and made it a part of England, a situation which existed legally until Edwardian times.

He did this for two reasons- the first was that at the time, Wales was predominantly Catholic, and many senior Welsh clerics disapproved of the establishment of the Church of England. The second was that by the time of Henry's reign, many Welsh people (including aristocracy, landed gentry and influential pubic figures) were beginning to feel that the Tudors had 'sold out' to England too much and were no longer adequately representing Welsh interests. Henry thus wished to forestall another Welsh rebellion, which by the early / mid 16th Century could have been far more devastating for England due to advances in military technology since the time of Owain Glyndwr.
