Henry+Tudor+(King+Henry+VIII)

**Introduction** "Of all loses, time is the most irrecuperable for it can never be redeemed" - King Henry VIII (Quotes). In the short period he was the king, he decided to have six different wives. King Henry was declared "Defender of Faith" by the pope (Check). Henry also happened to form his own church and branch or religion many people now follow. He's a talented king with little real concern for his subjects and lack knowledge of politics and government. Henry had no male children and the only one he did have died shortly (Johnson). King Henry VIII of England is someone who can't make up his mind and ends up in a tighter knot that which he started. No one knew what he was about to do next or who he had his eyes on to be his next queen.

** Personal ** Everyone knows King Henry VIII for his many wives. For the longest time, the houses of Lancaster and York were rivals of Henry. In 1509, Henry took a place on the throne after his brother did ( ). The throne wasn't the only thing that he got out of his brother's death. King Henry VIII ends up marrying the widowed Catherine. Henry tried desperately for a male child to be the next in line of the Tudor Dynasty. Four out of five children that Catherine produced for Henry died (Check). Even after 20 years of marriage to Catherine, there's only one child that survived but it was a female (Johnson).

Years later, Henry had his eyes on another young lady. He wanted to marry her and because Catherine could no longer bare more children for him. The Catholic Church did not allow the divorce to . A  friend of Henry, Wolsey, worked for him. As Henry sent him to secure the divorce, Wolsey failed to do so. Henry kicked him from the office and stripped him of his position as a punishment (Johnson). Yet Henry marries the young lady, named Anne, in secret (Check). In 1533, Henry finally divorced the marriage with Catherine.

The divorce of Catherine and Henry caused the pop to excommunicate the king (Johnson). Yet Henry never tolerated opposition (Muntone). So in 1534, the Act of Supremacy was passed (Johnson). It also made King Henry VIII head of  of England (Check). Not everyone was happy or agreed with the new act. One person who didn't was Sir Thomas Moore. He was executed for refusin to recognize King Henry VIII as the head of  (Johnson).

King Henry VIII had many wives during his lifespan. The attraction did not only come from his royalty, much less his loyalty, but everything that he was as a person. Growing up, Henry had a very determined personality (Check). He was intelligent, extravagant and athletic. Henry wrote poetry and read many books. The king participated in many kinda of sports and activities such as hunting, jousting, and tennis (Johnson). Henry was also a gifted composer and musician (Ross). King Henry VIII played the flute, organ, and the lute (Johnson). To go along with his intelligence, he also had high confidence and is considered an over achiever (Smeeton). As he grew older and took both the throne and his brothers wife, he grew possessive, ruthless, and highly arrogant (Johnson). King Henry VIII was a true leader to his kingdom. He knew how to control the citizens in his kingdom but became desperate for a continuation in his dynasty (Ross). As king, Henry could do as he pleased and he was a stubborn person who did not tolerate opposition (Muntone). Everything that was done he wanted it to be done his way and his way is the only way he would accept it. Through the years of marriage to Catherine, she later realizes that her husband was a very unpredictable man (Smeeton). **Obstacles**
