 HENRY VIII. - LoveToKnow Article on HENRY VIII.
He died on the 28th of January 1547, and was buried in St Georges Chapel, Windsor.
Sir Anthony St Leger continued his policy from 1540; Henry, instead of being merely lord of ireland dependent on the pope, was made by an Irish act of parliament king, and supreme head of the Irish church.
Conciliation was also tried with some success; plantation schemes were rejected in favor of an attempt to Anglicize the Irish; their chieftains were created earls and endowed with monastic lands; and so peaceful was Ireland in 1542 that the lord-deputy could send Irish kernes and gallowglasses to fight against the Scots.

He was also made a commissioner to maintain the banks of the Thames between Woolwich and Greenwich, and was given by the earl of March (grandson of Lionel, duke of Clarence, his old patron) a sub-forestership at North Petherton, Devon, obviously a sinecure.
Henry himself, however, was probably straitened for ready money, and no instalment of the new pension was paid during the few months of his reign that the poet lived.
