Naughty Henry ……..

During the early 1520’s Henry

started a series of affairs as he

was getting bored of

Catherine.

Catherine became more

religious and was not interested in going to parties.

She was also ageing badly and

putting on weight.

Henry’s affairs included one with Bessie Blount, who produced a living son, called Henry.

A Biblical Tale

Catherine had once been married to

Henry’s older brother, Arthur.

The Pope had given special permission for

Henry to marry his brother’s widow.

With Henry getting bored of his marriage, he was reading the Bible where in Leviticus it

stated that a man should never marry his brother’s

widow and if he does they will be childless.

This gave Henry the religious backed he

needed to argue for a divorce.

Page 12: Why did Henry VIII ‘great matter’ matter?

Who follows Henry VIII?

Henry desperately needed a son to

continue the Tudor dynasty. By 1527, he

and Catherine had one daughter but no sons.

Henry now saw Catherine as too old to have any more children and had now fallen in love with a much younger woman – Anne Boleyn. Henry felt that Anne was more likely to give him the son he wanted.

Henry VIII quest for a divorce – 1527-33

At first, Henry tried to argue

that his marriage was illegal.

However, this was not the case.

The only chance Henry had a

getting a divorce was asking the Pope. The Pope

refused as he was being threatened by Spanish troops.

Henry hated the Pope having this control over him.

The stalemate between the Pope and Henry VIII

lasted between 1527-33.

Henry VIII becomes Head of the Church – 1533-4

Matters became more urgent in

1533 when Anne Boleyn became

pregnant.

Henry lost his patience with the negotiations with

the Pope.

Backed up by Cranmer and

Parliament, Henry ignored the Pope and made himself

Head of the Church of England.

As Head of the Church of England, Henry gave himself

a divorce and married Anne

Boleyn.

The Break with RomeHenry VIII as Head of the Church of England was confirmed in 1534 with

Act of Supremacy.

England was no longer a Catholic country. It had changed to a

Protestant country.

All church services and Bible readings were now in English and

churches were decorated differently.

This change was called the ‘break with Rome’ as it broke away from control from the Pope.
