King Henry Viii Influence

Anne Boleyn was the second wife of Henry the vlll, she was Executed in May 19 1536 and she was buried in May 19 1536. Anne Boleyn had one kid with King Henry vlll, she had a daughter named Elizabeth. Anne Boleyn was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536. She was famous for being the key figure in the English Reformation and her public execution is also well known. Anne Boleyn has two siblings a sister named Mary Boleyn and a brother named George Boleyn.

Henry’s reign caused major troubled for England. There was an increase in unemployment, raising the rents and fines for farmers, (Sparknotes) but the main thing that devastated England and its people was “The Reformation.” “The Reformation saw the breaking away of the English Church from the Catholic Church in Rome in 1534 and the installation of King Henry VIII as its Supreme Head” (Robinson). Henry married Katherine of Aragon in 1527, he had multiple affairs through out the marriage and was desperate for a male heir. They were married for over twenty years until Henry’s lustful eyes meant that of Anne Boleyn. Anne Boleyn drove Henry mad with lust refusing to submit to him until she was Queen of England. Henry VIII tried and tried again to get Katherine out of picture but many priest were against the divorce and refused to grant it.

Desiring marriage to his mistress Anne Boleyn, and a subsequent male heir to the throne, King Henry VIII of England stood before the pope with a plea. He wanted to divorce his then wife Catherine of Aragon, who he had come to despise for failing to produce a male heir, and instead marry Anne. However, this request was met with adamant refusal by the pope, who deemed the divorce unholy as it was against the Catholic faith. Upon hearing that his request was denied, Henry became livid and, in with the Act of Supremacy, ordained himself the head of the Anglican Church. He then proceeded to divorce Catherine and take Anne as his new bride. But Henry’s actions against the Catholic Church did not stop there.

The Pope is outraged by Henry’s move to break with the Catholic church and he is excommunicated for breaking with Papal authority. King Henry and Queen Anne produce a daughter shortly after their secret marriage. Their daughter Elizabeth would be their only surviving child. Once again, there was an issue with the failure to produce a male heir. He soon grew tired of Anne. In 1536, she was accused of adultery and executed. In 1537, Henry took a third wife, Jane Seymour. With Jane, Henry finally produces a male heir, Arthur. Unfortunately, Jane dies shortly after the baby’s birth due to complications with the birth.

Kathryn Howard was the daughter of Lord Edmund Howard, a younger brother of Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk. She was also first cousin to Anne Boleyn. Kathryn came to court at about the age of 19 as a lady in waiting to Anne of Cleves and there was no doubt that the spirited young girl caught Henry’s attention. Sixteen days after he was free of Anne, Henry took his fifth wife, Kathryn Howard, on July 28, 1540. Henry was 49 and his bride was no older than 19. King Henry lavished gifts on Kathryn and called her his ‘rose without thorn’ and the ‘very jewel of womanhood’. Less than a year into Kathryn marriage the rumors of her infidelity began. In a way, one couldn’t blame her for seeking the company of handsome young men closer to her age. But for that to happen even only in courtly flirtations, was dangerous for a Queen, especially one who came from a powerful family with a lot of enemies. By November 1541, there was enough evidence against the Queen that Archbishop Cranmer informed the King of Kathryn’s misconduct. At first Henry did not believe the accusations, but he agreed to allow further investigations into the matter. There was enough evidence and

Cardinal Wolsey, the King´s almoner, arranged a deal with Anne Boleyn that was suposed to give a child to Henry. She refused to do so until Henry divorce with Catherine of Aragon. The divorce was also in Henry´s interest since if Anne gave him a male heir he would be a bastard and not recognized by the law. Royal annulmenst were very unusual and so Henry needed very good reason for the divorce.

The nation was revitalized, the finances were rectified, and the religious tensions had been quelled. England grew from being a relatively poor country to one that would dominate the world stage. The path to this point was filled with an abundance of intrigue, backstabbing, mischief, adultery, civil strife, corruption, religious reformations, in no small order due to the decisions of this incredible family, but without it England may have never been able to come into its stride. Henry VIII, though famous for his supposed ineptitude and foul demeanor, paved the way for his children to make great and incredible changes. The formation of Anglicanism would forever change European politics and was an incredibly important stepping stone in the success of the protestant reformation. Though Mary was a devout Catholic even she furthered the protestant cause by creating martyrs and further alienating the English people from the Catholic faith. Then came Elizabeth, who became what all others hope to be, and chose to end her family’s legacy with her. The Tudors have always been in control of their own destinies, even to their bitter end. At least it was ended on a high note. Their choices and actions created a nation of supreme proportions and left the world shaken, and left us with some incredible stories to

"No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother." Quoted by a women’s rights activist Margaret Sanger. Sanger is responsible for the word birth control and fighting to make it legal.

In his new religion he could divorce Catherine and remarry Anne without the Pope’s authority or permission, going against the Catholic religion. He made a rule that anyone who denies his authority will be dying. Everyone followed King Henry VIII, only for connection of knowing each other or just didn’t want to follow the Pope’s authorities or rules. During Henry’s VIII marriage journey he remarried several wives, only to realize that he never got a full-grown

In Chapter 2 of Anselm's Proslogian, Anselm offers what was later to be characterized as his Ontological Argument, which is an argument for God's existence he felt was so strong that even a fool as is said in Psalms 14:1- "who has said in his heart, 'There is no God'". Anselm's argument is as follows :

Three years after the baby’s death she became pregnant again with a stillborn boy, then a baby boy who died within month of his birth. Then finally she became

A papal dispensation, or permission from the pope, needed to be issued in order for Prince Henry to marry his brother’s widow. According to the book of Leviticus, the marriage was prohibited and “if a brother is to marry the wife of a brother they will remain childless”. After the death of her husband, Catherine denied that her marriage had been consummated and that no dispensation was required. Both England and Spain agreed that a papal dispensation was needed to assure that the marriage was justifiable. However, even after the papal dispensation was granted, Prince Henry and his brother’s widow did not wed because King Henry VII failed to keep his end of the bargain (“Henry VIII King of England” 2).

Anne knew she had to produce a son but had two miscarriages shortly after Elizabeth's birth. Anne's enemies in the court began to plot against her, using the fact that the King still did not have a male heir to the thrown and the fact that the King had turned his attentions to Jane Seymour, one of Anne's ladies in waiting. Anne and her brother, George, as well as many other people were brought up on charges of treason and adultery (on Anne's part). They were sentenced to death. Shortly after Anne's death the marriage was dissolved and declared invalid. The curious question here was how could Anne of committed adultery if she had never been married to the King?
