Holy League Invaded France (1513) – Battle of Spurs – Henry personally led troops – Won some battles and French land – Julius died (1513) – Leo recalled troops – Louis just went home 6m

Why did Henry want to win glorious battles?

Second half of monarch Henry VIII became obsessed with having sons “The King’s Great Matter” ( ) Married 14 years to Catherine (9 yrs. Betrothed) Had a cute relationship – romantic He did have affairs – Mary Bollen (sister to Anne Boleyn) – Bessy Blount – had a son (Henry Fitzroy) 3m

Why would the Pope refuse?

Henry desperate for legitimate son Catherine was done with kids Mary Bollen – had a son and daughter Anne refused to have an affair Pope refused to grant a divorce

Henry’s options in 1522 Marry off Mary – hope she’d have a son – But, she was young – only 11 Just declare Mary the next monarch – But, England had no history of this Legitimize one of his sons – Gave Henry Fitzroy title “Duke of Richmond” – Not accepted by other royals Find a new wife

WHAT’S HENRY’S BEST OPTION?

Henry was refused an annulment Usually only granted with a lack of consummation However… The Pope refused… REASONS: – Catherine was the aunt of the HRE – The Pope was under the “protection” of the HRE (HRE had captured the Papal States) – The pope had already granted special dispensation

Solution the The King’s Great Matter Act of Supremacy Problems… – Henry was a loyal Catholic – “Defense of the Seven Sacraments – Went to mass several times/day Would alienate England Would alienate the King from Catholics – Including Thomas More

The Church of England “Anglican” No doctrinal changes under Henry Henry closed down monasteries Sold the land to supporters Executed all who opposed him – Including Thomas More Wrote Six Articles

IN WHAT WAYS WAS HENRY NOT AT ALL SELFISH WITH THIS MOVE?

Life with Anne Henry passionately adored Anne Until… She gave birth to a daughter Then… several miscarriages Final pregnancy miscarried in 1536 when Anne heard Henry had fallen off a horse Henry banished Anne Moved Jane Seymour in Anne arrested for treason and incest Executed 1536

Jane Seymour Gave birth to a son Then died Henry heartbroken Advisors recommended he marry again And from a Protestant region Cromwell found Anne of Cleves “no better than a Flanders mare”

Anne of Cleves Henry married her sight unseen At the wedding, he was unenthused – She smelled – She was unattractive – She was not at all cute or sexy Henry was already eying up Catherine Howard He never consummated marriage to Anne Granted a divorce Anne given Anne Boleyn's family castle Cromwell decapitated, skull boiled, and impaled on London Bridge Anne remained friends with Henry

Catherine Howard Young, cute, sexy and energetic First cousin to Anne Boleyn – totally undisciplined Had affairs – aunt sent her to court Henry fell for her – ~19 (UNK) – “pathetic infatuation (he was 50… and fat) – “a rose without a thorn” Married Henry in a year Henry found a new youth… … then… she had another affair click
