what good things did henry do for england, that help british people??

Answer 1

Which Henry? There were eight kings called Henry and various prime ministers. Prince Charles's second son is Prince Henry of Wales although he is known as Harry.

Answer 2

Henry IX was the greatest king of England. He ruled from 1491 to 1591, making him the oldest King of England ever. He is known as a Tudor king because he invented the Tudor horse and carriage, which had two doors on each side because Henry IX weighed 800 pounds, which made him the fattest king of England in history (until King Clarence XVI was elected by the British in the 19th century). So he had to have two doors on each side so he could get in and out and this made him the Tudor king.

King Henry also set up his own church when he got mad at the Pope for not allowing him to have eight wives at the same time. It was originally called The Church Of King Henry but is now known as Henry's Church. This was the first great thing that Henry did for England. This is also why the British can have more than one wife at a time.

The second thing that Henry IX did for England was increase food production. Since he ate 10 roasted chickens a day at breakfast and a side of beef a day for dinner, the people had to work harder to keep him fed, which increased farm production all across England. He couldn't eat all the food so everyone had more food. This way England became fatter.

In this period England also conquered the Dutch during the 1000 Years War, which is why there are tulips, windmills and wooden shoes in England. King Henry also supported the arts and had Wilfred Shakespeare write plays for him, including "A Midsummer Night's Dinner" and "Caliban," which was the first play featuring Frankenstein.

Henry IX died at age 103 after his stomach exploded from eating a bucket of pudding. A coffin the size of a train car had to be especially built for him and it took two weeks to dig his grave. Henry IX's body was frozen in ice until they could finish.

These and many other reasons are why Henry IX was the greatest king of England.

Answer 3

I am going to assume you mean King Henry VIII of the six wives fame.

He had a huge influence on the development of England. We sometimes see his destroying of the church as a negative, but on the other hand, the church owned 1/3 of all of England at the time, so when he took that land away he allowed tremendous wealth not only to flow to him but to the people as well. Suddenly huger areas of land were opened to development.

He also organized the people and the tax structure. If one has done any family ancestors research they would know that you can't find any information about births and deaths, except for the nobility, in all of England before Henry VIII, that's because he was the first one to organize a system of records. In addition, he built up the military, he required every church to have at least one Bible in English, he encouraged and sponsored exploration of the New World, and he was a great patron of the arts.

We tend to remember him only for chopping off heads (he only did this to two of his wives) but he should be remembered for a lot of positive contributions to England.

Answer 4

Henry VIII has always seemed the very embodiment of true monarchy. Even his evil deeds, never forgotten, have been somehow amalgamated into a memory of greatness. He gave his nation what it wanted: a visible symbol of its nationhood. He also did something toward giving it a better government, a useful navy, a start on religious reform and social improvement.

Though six times married, he left a minor heir and a dangerously complicated succession problem. Of his six wives, two joined a large tally of eminent persons executed for alleged treason; yet otherwise his regime observed the law of the land with painful particularity.

Answer 5

I agree- to which Henry are you referring? A King or maybe a diplomat? Or a government official?

Answer 6

Which Henry? When you ask a question, be specific. Otherwise you do not deserve an answer.
