I have to write a paper for a Reformation Theology class on Henry VIII. I need some help on where there might be some ggod information. A brief outline would help. Really anythin will do. My teacher does not like wikipedia, so the less that I have of that the better. Will someone please help me? My paper had to be 8 - 10 pages and right now I feel completely overwhelmed. I need to know about his whole life but I need specifically focus in on the religous aspects the changes that he made in the country at that time concerning religion.

Well, this is a huge topic, but here goes. Henry broke from Roman Catholicism, which was the only religion in England at the time, when the Pope failed to allow him to divorce his first wife, Katherine of Aragon, so he could marry Anne Boleyn. He created the Church of England and made himself head. He then persecuted monks, nuns and priests and destroyed the RC churches and monasteries, taking their land and distributing it to his favourites at court as a reward for supporting him.

% a spouse in line with internet site. Catherine of Arragon replaced into the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. They financed Columbus's holiday to the Caribbean and that became out to be very rewarding. They flooded the european marketplace with gold. think of of the offense Henry led to by skill of rejecting her in prefer of Anne Boylen. It replaced right into a great political determination to take the valuables of the church that replaced into helping the richest u . s . in Europe, Spain. Spend some time on the politics of Europe interior the 1500's that ought to take up a minimum of a internet site and a nil.5.

Wikipedia is only one online source for information. Do an internet search using your favorite search engine on Henry the 8th. You can also go to the library to look for books about Henry the 8th, and look at their encyclopedia for more information. Interesting topic, good luck!

King Henry VIII started his own church because the catholics would not let him divorce his wives. So I believe he started the Church of England and one of his daughters reverted back to catholicism and persacuted (sp) anyone who did not revert back to catholicism earning her the nickname Bloody Mary.
