The role of the state: the Kings Great Matter and the break from Rome, 1529 1535 This is the key topic everything begins with this. It has enormous religious, economic and social consequences but it would be mistake to see it as primarily a religious event. It was politically motivated. It was about the succession not really about religion... but it became a religious matter later. If we are to understand Henry s motives we need to look at him against the background of the 15thcentury.
The Wars of the Roses Battle of Towton 1461 28,000 killed in one day (worse in fact that the first day of the Somme) It was in the interests of the nobility as well as the king, therefore, to secure the succession.
The royal sex life is not a personal matter Henry VI and Edward V were child kings Arthur died in 1502, and a couple of years after that Henry VII fell ill; Throughout his reign, Henry is suspicious of anyone with royal blood Duke of Buckingham executed in 1521; the de la Pole s (except Reginald) are wiped out in 1538.
Now, whats significant about this image of Henry (and so many others)?
