Henry VIII (born 1491, ruled 1509-1547). The second son of Henry VII
|
|
and Elizabeth of York was one of England's strongest and least popular
|
|
monarchs. He was born at Greenwich on June 28, 1491. The first English
|
|
ruler to be educated under the influence of the Renaissance, he was a
|
|
gifted scholar, linguist, composer, and musician. As a youth he was gay and
|
|
handsome, skilled in all manner of athletic games, but in later life he
|
|
became coarse and fat. When his elder brother, Arthur, died (1502), he
|
|
became heir apparent. He succeeded his father on the throne in 1509, and
|
|
soon thereafter he married Arthur's young widow, Catherine of Aragon.
|
|
During the first 20 years of his reign he left the shaping of policies
|
|
largely in the hands of his great counselor, Cardinal Wolsey (See Wolsey,
|
|
Cardinal). By 1527 Henry had made up his mind to get rid of his wife. The
|
|
only one of Catherine's six children who survived infancy was a sickly
|
|
girl, the Princess Mary, and it was doubtful whether a woman could succeed
|
|
to the English throne. Then too, Henry had fallen in love with a lady of
|
|
the court, Anne Boleyn.
|
|
|
|
When the pope (Clement VII) would not annul his marriage, Henry turned
|
|
against Wolsey, deprived him of his office of chancellor, and had him
|
|
arrested on a charge of treason. He then obtained a divorce through Thomas
|
|
Cranmer, whom he had made archbishop of Canterbury, and it was soon
|
|
announced that he had married Anne Boleyn.
|
|
|
|
The pope was thus defied. All ties that bound the English church to
|
|
Rome were broken. Appeals to the pope's court were forbidden, all payments
|
|
to Rome were stopped, and the pope's authority in England was abolished. In
|
|
1534 the Act of Supremacy declared Henry himself to be Supreme Head of the
|
|
Church of England, and anyone who denied this title was guilty of an act of
|
|
treason. Some changes were also made in the church services, the Bible was
|
|
translated into English, and printed copies were placed in the churches.
|
|
The monasteries throughout England were dissolved and their vast lands and
|
|
goods turned over to the king, who in turn granted those estates to
|
|
noblemen who would support his policies. In the northern part of the
|
|
kingdom the people rose in rebellion in behalf of the monks, but the
|
|
Pilgrimage of Grace, as it was called, was put down.
|
|
|
|
Although Henry reformed the government of the church, he refused to
|
|
allow any changes to be made in its doctrines. Before his divorce he had
|
|
opposed the teachings of Martin Luther in a book that had gained for him
|
|
from the pope the title Defender of the Faith--a title the monarch of
|
|
England still bears. After the separation from Rome he persecuted with
|
|
equal severity the Catholics who adhered to the government of Rome and the
|
|
Protestants who rejected its doctrines.
|
|
|
|
Henry was married six times. Anne Boleyn bore the king one child, who
|
|
became Elizabeth I. Henry soon tired of Anne and had her put to death. A
|
|
few days later he married a third wife, Jane Seymour. She died in a little
|
|
more than a year, after having given birth to the future Edward VI.
|
|
|
|
A marriage was then contracted with a German princess, Anne of Cleves,
|
|
whom the king had been led to believe to be very beautiful. When he saw her
|
|
he discovered that he had been tricked, and he promptly divorced this wife
|
|
and beheaded Thomas Cromwell, the minister who had arranged the marriage.
|
|
Henry's fifth wife, Catherine Howard, was sent to the block for misconduct.
|
|
In 1543 he married his sixth wife, the tactful and pious Catherine Parr.
|
|
Catherine, who survived Henry, lived to marry her fourth husband.
|
|
|
|
During Henry's reign the union of England and Wales was completed
|
|
(1536). Ireland was made a kingdom (1541), and Henry became king of
|
|
Ireland. His wars with Scotland and France remained indecisive in spite of
|
|
some shallow victories. Although he himself opposed the Reformation, his
|
|
creation of a national church marked the real beginning of the English
|
|
Reformation. He died on Jan. 28, 1547, and was buried in St. George's
|
|
Chapel in Windsor Castle.
