I have a few questions from my english work i can't find theanswer to. I will update this later like either tonight or tomorrow as the bell goes in 15 minutes and i still have several questions left. And my teahcer just said to use the internet or books, soo... also i am a procrastanator so I'd rahter get it down quickly then procrastanate and do it at home.

11. In 1536 Henry VIII lost two wives to death and married a third - is this possiable?

13. Whose favourite fruit was pomegranate? (1 of Henry VIII's relatives). What did people think it was good for?

(I'm running out of time... 3 minutes) I think i can find these \/ on my own. If not then i ask here.

20. Ann Boleyn had an older sister - name her and describe her relationship to Henry the VIII.

EDIT: 18. Who was Richard Calpepper?

19. Who were Mary, Queen of Scots' husbands and what happened to them?

16. Why was Henry VII called "THe Defender of the Faith?".

11. In 1536 Henry VIII lost two wives to death and married a third - is this possible?

16. Why was Henry VII called "THe Defender of the Faith?".

11. Yes, it is. You see I am pretty sure by now good ol' Henry the Eighth had seperated from the Catholic church, and creating the Church of England (or the Angelican church) which he was he led. Henry did this so he could divorce his wives legally, and seize church lands.

16. Back when Henry supported the Roman Catholic Church, Prostestent was spreading around Europe, something the Pope feared. Henry criticized Martin Luthor, founder of the movement, calling him a "great limb of the devil." The current pope awarded Henry the title "Defender of the Faith." Ironic for what was to happen later in his reign.

umm google? or try reading your history text book..or go to a library and look up History of england...nice and easy.

I'm not spending hours on this so forget books, I used google, I can probably finish those last few questions on google, but not tonight.

so you want us to do the work for you......they call it homework for a reason. Hell those are easy ones. Use wiki

That marriage thing only works if you twist the meaning around a lot.

He beheaded Anne Boelyn in 1536 after trying her for treason and adultery (amongst other things) and married Jayne Seymour 11 days later. Catherine of Aragon also died in 1536, but since she wasn't married to Henry at the time it's a big stretch to say he lost her to death. The two had been divorced for 3 years and AFAIK hadn't met for at least that long.

So in answer to the question he lost Anne Boelyn, "lost" Catherine of Aragon and married Jayne Seymour all in the space of a year. Before 1537 was over he'd lost a third wife when Jayne died soon after giving birth to his only son, Edward, and by 1540 had married again to Anne of Cleeves.

The easiest way of remembering their fates that I found when doing A Level history was the rhyme "Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived".

NICE rhyme PH...and yes u are right.. i looked it up

Err yeah I had to edit my reply a little when I remembered that Catherine of Aragon died sometime around then :blush:

OK, i can't find the answers to:
13. Whose favourite fruit was pomegranate? (1 of Henry VIII's relatives). What did people think it was good for?
and
18. Who was Richard Calpepper?

18. Who was Richard Calpepper?
Your sure his name isn't spelt "Culpepper"?

Might make a difference...:confused:

13. Catharine of Aragon - at least I think so. It was her badge, and the symbol of the city where she was born. (Granada - making it a pun, as well.) Dunno what it was good for.
18. If my memory serves, there was an important Culpepper family in Tudor times. Never heard of Calpeppers.

Must be a (30 year old) typo. He wrote themin the 70s and is retiring this year (was suposed to retire last year, but noo). Thanks!

Catherine's death was important in that it meant Edward VI was legitimate even for those who didn't recognize divorce; those people would have called Elizabeth illegitimate.

by the way pommegranites are very high in vitamin c and it is belived they can reduce the risk of prostate cancer!

I really can't see the educational value of the first part of question 13..
