 Tudor Monarchs: King Henry VIII
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.

But it is a shame to let the last twenty years of his life color the interpretation of his entire life.

Sir Arthur Haselrig, 2nd Baronet (died January 7, 1661), English parliamentarian, is best remembered as one of the five members of parliament whom King Charles I of England attempted to arrest in 1642, an event that helped precipitate the English Civil War.

He attempted to maintain a republican parliamentary administration, "to keep the sword subservient to the civil magistrate," and opposed Lambert's schemes.

The most notable issue during Lord Byng's term of office was the "King-Byng Affair" – a political crisis that arose between the Governor General and Prime Minister Mackenzie King.

Following his term as Governor General, Lord and Lady Byng returned to England where he was raised in the peerage as Viscount.
