...is, King Henry VIII. On June 28, 1491, Henry Tudor, King Henry VIII, was born in Greenwich Palace, in London, England. Henry was born to an affectionate family that delivered six other children, but only four children survived: Arthur, Margaret, Mary, and Henry. Henry VIII’s brother, Arthur, was the eldest of the Tudor family and Arthur’s father would bequeath his position and the royal title to Arthur. When Arthur reached the age of fifteen he passed away leaving the right to the throne to he younger brother, Henry VIII. King Henry VIII was only ten-years-old when he was appointed king of England. He eventually married his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, who was once betrothed to Arthur, his oldest brother. Catherine, being the daughter of the Spanish king and queen, was a contributing factor as to why Henry agreed to join Catherine in matrimony, for Henry could remain in relations with Spain (Ford 18). Catherine and King Henry VIII gave birth to a daughter, Mary. This was unacceptable to King Henry because he anticipated continuing his family’s name on the throne for generations to come, he would need to conceive a son to take his spot as king once he was deceased. The Catholic Church doesn’t permit divorce of a marriage, but Henry asked for Pope Clement VII to cancel his marriage. King Henry VIII demanded his marriage to Catherine be canceled, and he spoke out that their marriage was wrong from the beginning because his brother was first to marry her, making Henry VIII...

...monarchs, the first being that Henry VII wanted to avoid entering a war, whilst his son Henry VIII wished to become a "warrior king" and welcomed the idea of war. It could be suggested that this difference is due to another - Henry VII came to power through the Battle of Bosworth, which could have fuelled his ambition to avoid war, whereas Henry VIII inherited the throne after his Father's death, meaning that he had little experience of war, let alone a negative experience. "How did the reign of Henry VII shape the beginning of the reign of Henry VII?" There were several ways in which the reign of Henry VII helped shape the reign of his son, Henry VIII. The first being that while Henry VII was in power he kept his finances in good condition through promoting trade, avoiding war and increasing taxes to the point of ruthlessness. This meant that when his son, Henry VIII came to power, he inherited a stable surplus of money. Another way in which Henry VII helped shape his son's reign was because of his involvement in the War of the Roses. When Henry was made king, he fulfilled his promise to his supporters to marry the daughter of Edward IV, Elizabeth of York, after becoming England's new monarch. This resulted in the opposing sides in the War of the Roses, York and Lancaster, becoming united. This meant that Henry VII helped shape the beginning of his son's reign as he left him with a reasonable stable and united country. "How far did Henry VIII's reign begin a new era in...

...to handle it when and we all have different ways of dealing with death. In the short story “...Divorced, Beheaded, Survived” (2010) by Robin Black we meet the I-narrator, Sarah, her husband Lyle and their two children Mark and Coco. The short story deals with themes such as death, memories, childhood and the management of something difficult in life no matter if you are an adult or a child. The title of the short story “Divorced, Beheaded, Survived” is a part of the rhyme “Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived” which is used to remember the fates of King Henry VIII’s six wives. In Sarah’s childhood she used to play a game with her older brother Terry and two other kids from the neighbourhood, Molly and Johnny, where they had to play King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn (King Henry VIII’s third wife). Anne Boleyn was the first wife who was executed wife out of two, out of King Henry VIII’s six wives so when game went on, someone had to behead the one who played Anne. When the played their game over and over again everyone had to rotate so they all could play Anne. At that time, in 1973, Sarah went to fourth grade and Terry got sick and died in 1974. It was shocking news, but now, thirty years later “it seems to have been as inevitable a conclusion as the strike of Molly’s axe” (p. 3, l. 50) Thus the title “Divorced, Beheaded, Survived” is a symbol of the fact that even though something as terrible as death happens in such a...

...of her dear brother “Terry”, must guide her son through the accidental death of his friend. The story is written in the past tense, as the narrator thinks back at her childhood shortly before the demise of her brother, when they would re-enact the bizarre fate of Henry the VIII’s wives. The structure of the story is a bit irregularly written or rather “jumpy”, as we travel through the memories of the narrator, where we find ourselves reading about some of her stories of which time span stretches over thirty years. The narrator’s son faces a tremendous amount grief as a result of his friend’s death, and it is now up to his mother to help him through these difficult times, as she also went through the exact same thing. The setting of the essay is rather well-thought, as the reader of the story follows to different segments of memory, which plays out simultaneously. In one hand you find yourself reading about, Terry, whose demise was a result of falling ill. He is described by his sister, Sarah, as a passionate young man especially when playing “Lady Anne”. Sarah, Terry and their friends, Johnny Sanderson, Molly Denham and others, were all present at the last role-playing of the unfortunate fate of Henry the VIII’s wives “Divorced, Beheaded, Died” which took place in the garden. The demise of, Terry, was shortly after the lot’s role-play, and the garden would be a symbol...

...about an average American family, with two generations losing someone close to them. The first person narrator is the mother of the family who lost Terry, her older brother, at a very young age. The story is partly told in flashbacks from the last summer with her brother and the neighbor’s kids playing in their backyard while reenacting the death of Henry VIII’s wives. The present part of the story describes how the unnamed narrator’s oldest son, Mark, has a friend that suddenly passes away in a car accident. The story draws parallels between the death of Terry and the death of Mark’s friend and how both deaths play a role in their ordinary family life. Losing someone as close to you as a brother, has inevitably affected the life of the narrator. She reveals how it has caused superstition “Mark and Coco are four years apart – we had been two apart, Terry and I. And maybe it was superstition that made me wait that extra stretch of time before getting pregnant again”. It has also caused drastic changes to her friendship with the neighbors whom she had spent countless hours in their backyard, reenacting the death of Henry VIII’s wives. “We weren’t really friends, anymore. And neither of us said a word to the other, not a single word.” It is here very clear how the friendship between the two girls were lost in high school. Though it’s very commonly seen that childhood friends lose touch when they get older, and especially when they reach high school, it’s hinted that it may be because...

...tittle-tattle to lethal information at Henry VIII’s court. Courtiers would spread rumors or unveil unsavory truths about their fellow men to gain adoration from the King or raise themselves up in station. In The Tudors, “The Act Of Treason,” multiple members of the court spread lies and rumors around to get Anne Boleyn off of the throne by saying she committed adultery against the king with her brother and seduced the king with witchcraft (The Act of Treason). Neither of which were true. A comparison of high school hallways and The Tudors could be made for a lecture on the different types of bullying. Teenagers are famous for spreading rumors of various natures to achieve an end...

...well known dynasty is the House of Tudor. Henry VII became king in 1485 and took Elizabeth of York as his wife.They had four children Prince Arthur of Wales, Margaret Tudor, Henry VIII, and Mary Tudor. Henry VIII was born June 28, 1491 at the Palace of Placentia in Greenwich. Being the second born son Henry was raised and educated to take a secular role in life, most likely as the Archbishop of Canterbury. His grandmother Margaret Beaufort supervised his early childhood education. Henry was reported to excel at book learning as well as athletics required by those apart of the aristocratic society. But even as well educated, handsome, and athletic as Henry was his father continued to favor the elder Prince Arthur. When Henry had reach the age of 10 he took part in his brothers arranged wedding to the daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. His job was to escort the bride; the bride was Catherine of Aragon who was later to be Henry VIII first wife. Shortly after the marriage, Arthur died on April 2, 1502 from night-sweats. This left Henry the rightful heir to the English throne right before his 11th birthday. Fourteen months after Arthur’s death, Catherine of Aragon was betrothal to Henry VIII, and then he was too young to marry. As Henry VIII grew up his father became less willing to have an alliance with the Spanish and he repudiated the betrothal of Henry and Catherine. After seven years his father dies and Henry VIII successes to the throne. He becomes...

...A King that Wanted a Son, Challenged the System and Brought Down an Over-Powerful Religious Empire. According to doctrine, Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church and Peter made it official in about 50-75 CE. The early church struggled for acceptance, wherein Christians were outcasts for the first couple hundred years of the Church’s existence. However, in the year 313, Emperor Constantine-I legalized Christianity and it eventually became the state religion of the Roman Empire by the decree of the Emperor. Even after the fall of the Byzantine Empire, the Catholic Church and the state remained closely linked. More specifically, the duties of every political authority and commoner including: kings, queens, princes, knights, serfs and soldiers were to the embrace the Catholic faith and to support, sustain and nurture the church. Kings believed that "God establishes kings as his ministers and reigns through them over the people.” For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church reinforced the political authority of the states and the states reinforced the authority of the church. However, in 1527 King Henry-VIII of England challenged the authority of the Church to exert its political and economic authority over sovereign lands. By establishing the Church of England, King Henry-VIII changed the way most European monarchs viewed the authority of the Pope. After complicated power struggle with the Catholic Church, involving political and theological issues, King Henry-VIII...

...Who treated the lepers? Where were they treated? Although, there were educated doctors in the Medæval Times, it is important to note that doctors were usually not the arbiters of the disease. In fact, often priests or other clergy [see the Bible and Leprosy section] and sometimes, even the paupers diagnosed this disease. It is also interesting to note that the title “Leprosy” was often misused and employed to describe a range of other disfiguring illnesses. When diagnosed, (although they were likely not to admit it!) many doctors didn’t know how to treat leprosy so the cure was often isolation. The lepers were banished to Leper Hospitals and Leper Colonies. Leper Hospitals were the commonplace lepers were sent to help stem the spread of the disease. Leprosy was prevalent in Norway in the Medæval Times and, there are many records of Leper Hospitals and the disease still strewn over the country. Although Leper Hospitals were putrid places, Leper Hospitals also often housed the poor and sick – those desperate or hungry enough to risk infection because they were surprisingly wealthy places. Due to the communities’ fear of lepers and the disease, people not only paid taxes to the hospitals but also donated, paid tolls and left endowments to the hospitals. (Endowments accounted for much of the average hospital’s wealth!) Depending on the hospital and financial status of the leper, lepers could be asked to pay admission fees, too! A leper colony was a place that the lepers...

Doesn’t matter what time of day or night, or year for that matter, it is always on. That’s not supernatural, of course- merely a nod to their role as the inspiration for Stephen King’s novel. Employees report hearing the commotion of a great party in the grand ballroom when there is no one there. Children can be heard playing in the halls when there are no children at all, and many guests have reported seeing ghostly figures in their rooms at night, merely standing, watching. The fourth floor seems to be host to the most amount of activity, and there is one ghost in particular, purportedly Lord Dunraven, the previous owner of the land the property was built on, who can be seen standing over the bed or looking out the window of room 407. He is widely blamed for any jewelry or valuables that have gone missing in the hotel over the years...
