what would you ask Lord Henry VIII?

Question

If you could travel back in time and ask Lord Henry VIII (the one that couldnt have male children) 4 relevant questions, what would they be?

Answer 1

I would have no interest in asking King (not Lord) Henry VIII anything -- because any mistake I made would cause him to chop off my head.

Henry had three children -- Mary, Elizabeth and Edward.

Edward became King -- and was a Male.

Mary then became Queen. She tried to reinstitute Catholicism. In the process, she killed many Protestants & became known as Bloody Mary.

Upon her death, Elizabeth I became Queen.

Answer 2

King Henry VIII could have male children - his first wife, Katherine of Aragon, gave birth to 2 or 3 boys who were either stillborn or died very young.

He had an illegitimate son, the Duke of Richmond, by his mistress, Elizabeth Blount.

And he also had his son and heir, Edward VI.

I'd ask him:

(1) why he took control of the Church of England

(2) Why he executed Thomas Cromwell, a faithful and capable minister

(3) why he blamed the women in his life for everything

(4) what he regretted.

Answer 3

I would ask for his forgiveness. He was a King, not a Lord.

He could have male children (Edward) but he died. Elisabeth I became queen, the first female ruler of England (since Boudecea).

You probably want to look at things like his attitude toward the Catholic Church and the Papacy and his habit of killing people.
Ask him for a teacher who can help you get your facts straight.
Don't ask him about his diet.

Answer 4

why did he marry 6 wives and then dump them all.
