| | THE HENRY VIII PAGE |
 | | Henry, desperate for an heir, and in love with Anne Boleyn, a maid of honour to Catherine, began to have his subjects who refused to swear to the Act of Supremacy put to death. | | | Henry kept his courtiers on tenterhooks through the final years of his reign as he continually revised his will, which he kept secret until the last. | | | After Henry failed to have his marriage to Catherine annulled by the Pope, he declared himself Supreme Head of the Church in England. |

| | Henry had now no choice but to put his great matter into the hands of Wolsey, and Wolsey, although the whole divorce policy ran counter to his better judgment, strained every nerve to secure a decision in his master's favour. | | | Meanwhile the strength of Henry's position at home had been much developed by Wolsey's judicious diplomacy, and, despite the costliness of some of England's demonstrations against France, before the French king became the emperor's prisoner at Pavia, the odium of the demand for money fell upon the minister, while Henry retained all his popularity. | | | William Knight, the king's secretary, was sent to Pope Clement VII to sue for the declaration of nullity of his union with Catherine, on the ground that the dispensing Bull of Julius II was obreptitious -- i.e. |

| | King Henry VIII: Biography, Portraits, Primary Sources |
| | Henry was formally promised in marriage to Katharine on 23 June 1503; the treaty stated that he would marry Katharine on his fifteenth birthday, 28 June 1505, and that her parents send over 100,000 crowns worth of plate and jewels in addition to the dowry she had given when married to Prince Arthur. | | | Both parties prevaricated - until 1509, when Henry VII suddenly died at the age of 52, and his headstrong son, chafing at his father's authority, was free to make his own decisions. | | | But it is important to remember that Henry VIII never completely abandoned his power to Wolsey, though court gossip believed otherwise. |

| | Henry sent a message to the Pope arguing that his marriage to Catherine had been invalid as she had previously been married to his brother Arthur. | | | Thomas More, Henry's Lord Chancellor, was opposed to the king's plans to divorce Catherine of Aragon and resigned from office. | | | In November 1534, Parliament passed an act that stated that Henry VIII was now the Head of the Church of England. |

| | Henry called her his sister and often invited her to court. | | | Henry approved of her portrait, so in 1539 a marriage treaty was signed and Anne set sail for England. | | | Anne was banished from the royal court after the abrupt ending of her romance with Percy and did not return until 1524 or 1525. |

| | Most damning in Henry's eyes is Wolsey's meddling in his divorce proceedings: Wolsey, recognizing that Henry intends to marry Anne once Katherine is out of the way, has instructed the Pope to stay any decision on the matter. | | | Henry exonerates the Archbishop, and has him christen his new daughter by Anne Bullen, Elizabeth. | | | Wolsey, already hated by Henry's courtiers for his role in Buckingham's death, is now further despised because Henry wishes a divorce. |

| | Henry's opinion of his sire was shown clearly when he succeeded to the throne and promptly reversed most of his father's policies and executed his most trusted servants. | | | He was the second son of Henry VII, and throughout his childhood was overshadowed by his older brother Arthur. | | | The fact that a Cockney could provide a recognisable representation of him gives away part of his enduring appeal; in national memory, Henry was one of the lads, the only English king to have his achievements celebrated in a long-popular music hall song. |

| | His succession of wives is made all the more dramatic by the speed of the unions - between his first divorce from Catherine of Aragon in 1533, he had five more wives in the span of only 10 years, the last one to last until his death in 1547. | | | Focusing on Henry's relationships with his six wives, this lavish mini-series also makes a good job of explaining the complex court intrigues of the period, detailing Henry's split with Rome and the political crisis following the creation of the Church of England. | | | Henry's quest to gain a male heir knew no bounds; by the time his obsession had destroyed many lives (not just those of the unfortunate women he married), he was an overweight and overbearing man with not too many years left to live. |

| | Henry VIII's 38-year reign as monarch of England saw that country transformed from a sleepy backwater of jousting tournaments and Catholic piety to a nation torn by religious and political strife -- all because of the king's desperation for a male heir. | | | From the moment Henry Tudor casts aside his faithful wife Katherine of Aragon for the bewitching and determined Anne Boleyn, he sets himself on a course of disastrous marriages. | | | Helena Bonham Carter stars as the seductress Anne Boleyn; the stellar cast also includes David Suchet as Cardinal Wolsey, Emilia Fox as Jane Seymour, Sean Bean as revolutionary Robert Aske, Charles Dance as the Duke of Buckingham, Mark Strong as the Duke of Norfolk and Michael Maloney as Archbishop Thomas Cranmer. |

| | Scarisbrick has written the definitive biography of Henry VIII and his times, even though this book is about 30 years old. | | | Scarisbrick brought an interesting view to the subject: as a Roman Catholic he was the first British author granted access to Vatican archives for his research on the subject. | | | It focus's mostly on Henry's policies and the religous issue and a lot of assumptions as to why Henry acted a certain way. |
