what is the name of the castle Henry V111 lived in Kent how many wife's did he have ?

Question

One of his wifes was the mother of Queen Elizabeth I who was also known as the virgiin queen.do you know which wife?

Answer 1

Leeds Castle in Kent was one of Henry VIII's residences. He did not live at Hever Castle, also in Kent, but visited Anne Boleyn there when he was courting her, before she became his second wife and gave birth to Elizabeth I. Elizabeth was born at the Palace of Greenwich, as was her father. Hever was Anne's home, but it is debatable whether she was born there; she may have been born at Blickling Hall in Norfolk, depending on her date of birth.

Henry had six wives:
Katherine of Aragon - daughter Mary, who became Mary I of England. Also known as Mary Tudor or Bloody Mary. Katherine was divorced against her will.
Anne Boleyn - mother of Elizabeth I. Was beheaded for witchcraft, incest and treason.
Jane Seymour - gave birth to Edward, Henry's only legitimate son, who became Edward VI of England for a short time until he died at about sixteen years old. Jane died shortly after his birth.
Anne of Cleves - the "Mare of Flanders". Henry divorced her.
Catherine Howard - the "Rose without a Thorn". She was beheaded for adultery, only about eighteen years old to Henry's fiftyish.
Katherine Parr - older, more mature, widowed. She outlived Henry.

Henry also had some military castles in Kent, but did not live there (Deal and Walmer, for instance).

Answer 2

Hever Castle was the ancestral home of Anne Boleyn, the mother of Elizabeth I.
It was brought by the Astor family (heard of Nancy?) and is now owned by the National Trust. It's well worth a visit, and it was very hard to resist the urge to jump on Henry's bed!
Henry had six wives :-
Catherine of Aragon, mother of Mary I, (known as Bloody Mary), divorced.
Anne Boleyn - Mother of Elizabeth I - Beheaded. Unjustly, as there was plotting against her,
Jane Seymour - Mother of Edward VI - died from childbirth.
Anne of Cleves - This is a good one, Henry did not meet her before the marriage and was shown a portrait putting her in a good light - she was not attractive and pock-marked, so he divorced her. Someone got beheaded for that, She was given a house and lived quietly, Henry dared not execute her as she came from a powerful Flemish family. It may have been Hever castle she lived in, I cant find the guide book!
Katherine Howard - she was a bit of a trollop so got beheaded.
Catherine Parr - outlived Henry, and married who she really wanted, and died in childbirth a few years later.
There is a rhyme to go with the wives' fate:-
Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.

Answer 4

Court Life in the time of Henry VIII


What was the Court?

This was the place where the king lived. Henry VIII did not live alone in his palaces. He was surrounded by ladies and gentlemen called courtiers who lived with him at court. When Henry visited any of his palaces, the court went too.

Where did the king live?

Henry spent time at several royal homes in London. These were the Tower of London, the Palace of Westminster and Baynard's Castle (near St Paul's Cathedral). There were palaces at Richmond and Eltham. Henry also took over Hampton Court in 1528. He took it from Cardinal Wolsey, who had failed to get Henry a divorce from Catherine of Aragon.

A bit of a show off

The court was a great place for Henry to show how rich and important he was. This would make people from other countries see him as very powerful. It would put off people from plotting to take his throne. Henry used Hampton Court in this way. In August 1546, he entertained the French ambassador and 200 companions, plus 1,300 of the English court for six days!

All the activities at court were planned to show Henry's talents and interests. So the court was a centre for art, music, dance, poetry and tournaments. The court was the most fashionable place in the land.


His wives were:

Catherine (Caterina) of Aragon
Anne Boleyn
Jane Seymour
Anne of Cleves
Catherine Howard
Catherine Parr

Answer 5

Leeds or Hever Castle (the home of Anne Bolyn I believe)
Anne Boylyn was also the mother of Queen Elizabeth I

Answer 6

He has six wives, Catherine of Aragon was Mary I's mother and he divorced her, Anne Boleyn was Elizabeth I's mother and was beheaded, Jane Seymour was Edward VI's mother and died shortly after giving birth to him, Anne of Cleves was divorced, Catherine Howard was also beheaded and Catherine Parr survived him

Answer 7

Henry had six wives, Anne Boleyn was Elizabeths' mother. I believe the castle was Leeds, one of the most magnificent of England's castles, though he had several built.

Answer 8

Hever Castle. Catherine of Aragon (mother of Mary I), Anne Boleyn (Elizabeth's mother), Catherine Howard, Anne of Cleves,Jane Seymour (mother of Edward), Catherine Parr

He divorced Catherine and Anne of Cleves, executed by beheading Boleyn and Howard, Jane died in childbirth, Parr outlived him

Answer 9

Henry was married 6 times--to Catherine of Aragon the mother of Mary I, whom he divorced to marry Anne Bolyne, the mother of Elizabeth I. He beheaded Anne, claiming she was having affairs, and married again. He finally truly fell in love with one woman, but she died giving birth to his only son, who also later died young. I believe he divorced one more and beheaded one more, but the last one, who was really more of a nurse than a wife, survived him.

Answer 10

Henry VIII had 6 wives. He had three children, Mary, Elizabeth and Edward. Edward ended up dying for either pneumonia or TB and then Mary ascended to the throne. Elizabeth had her sister beheaded and that is how she became Queen of England
