	Tudor England FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about Tudor England
		Henry Tudor was the son of Margaret Beaufort, who was descended from King Edward III through an illegitimate line, and Edmund Tudor, the son of Princess Catherine of Valois and her second husband, Owen Tudor.
		Henry VIII was a lapsed Catholic; his successor Edward VI was a devout Protestant; his successor Mary I was a devout Catholic; her successor Elizabeth I was, understandably enough, a religious pragmatist.

	Madame d'Amours - Music for Henry VIII's Six Wives - Index
		Henry VIII is the most instantly recognisable of English kings: the heavy, square face with its fringe of beard, the massive torso, arms akimbo, feet planted firmly on the ground.
		Larger than life, certainly (six feet two inches tall, a colossal height for the time); but, as a young man, clean-shaven and with a halo of red hair, his waist was a mere 35 inches and his chest 42 inches.
		An irresistible figure to the twentieth century early—music revival, Henry is shown by numerous hyperbolic contemporary accounts to have been an expert singer (with a clear tenor voice and able to sing at sight); a player of lute, flute, recorder, cornett and virginals; and a composer of sacred and secular music.

	Wives of Henry VIII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The six wives (queens consort) of Henry VIII of England were, in order: Catherine of Aragon (divorced), Anne Boleyn (beheaded), Jane Seymour (died, childbirth fever), Anne of Cleves (annulled), Catherine Howard (beheaded), and Catherine Parr (survived him).
		Henry, then a devout Roman Catholic, sought the Pope's approval for an annulment on the grounds that the marriage was invalid because Catherine had first been his brother's wife.
		A mnemonic for the fates of Henry's wives is "divorced, beheaded, died - divorced, beheaded, survived".

	Portraits of The Six Wives of King Henry VIII: Katharine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, ...
		The six wives of King Henry VIII were a disparate group of women united only by their marriages to Bluff King Hal.
		Henry's first wife, Katharine of Aragon, was the youngest child of the 'Catholic Kings' of Spain, Ferdinand and Isabella; she and Henry were married for over twenty years.
		Katharine appears solemn and pensive; she was homesick and lonely, and Henry VII was hardly a generous father-in-law now that she was a mere princess dowager.

		As Henry VIII needed a son to provide a male heir to the throne, and as his advisors deemed Catherine to be past the age of child-birth, Henry tried to persuade her to become a Nun.
		Their relationship after the birth of Henry's second daughter started to deteriorate, but when she gave birth to a still-born son, Henry was convinced that God thought that his marriage was wrong, because the annulment had been wrong, and that he was cursing him by not giving him a son.
		Henry was still in mourning for Jane when Thomas Cromwell, his Chief Minister, persuaded Henry to marry Anne of Cleves to make an alliance with Germany, as Anne's father was the Duke of Cleves.

		The reign of Henry VIII was a defining period in English history, some would even describe it as cataclysmic.
		Henry soon grew tired of Anne because she, too, failed to produce a heir; and her pro-Reform agenda was becoming increasingly shrill, making her a political liability.
		Henry never laid an eye on her, but was vouched for by those who knew her.

		But still none of that on this album, as the six tracks (all instrumentals) are incredibly head-twisting (even some 30 years later), and strangely enough, as one could fear for such albums reflecting the technology of the the era, the music has not aged badly, quite on the contrary.

		Cromwell convinced Henry to open an investigation upon his wife, and Anne was charged with incest and adultery and was nearly burned at the stake before Henry demoted her death to a simple beheading in 1536.
		Henry selected her inspite of her love for Thomas Seymour, and despite that love she was a devoted wife to Henry when they married in 1544.
		Keeping Henry entertained with arguments of theology - she was nearly put on trial for showing interest in other religeons - Catherine even mended tears in the fabric of the royal family, drawing Elizabeth and Mary back to court and having their order of legitimacy maintained, no matter the legacy of their mothers.

		The task for the actor was to portray Henry at the different stages of his life, beginning with the athletic 18-year-old monarch and culminating in the oversize 56-year-old tyrant plagued by a variety of physical ailments.

		Whatever the criticisms, the success of The Six Wives of Henry VIII brought stardom to Michell and also did much to establish the BBC's cherished reputation for ambitious and historically authentic costume drama, consolidated a year later by the equally-acclaimed series Elizabeth R, starring Glenda Jackson as Henry's daughter.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: The Six Wives of Henry VIII, by Alison Weir, Paperback
		Henry VIII is perhaps England's most infamous monarch, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
		The story is dominated by Henry and the devolution of his character from an "affable," "gentle," and gifted (he wrote poetry) lover, soldier, and ruler into a porcine, paranoid, impotent old man who was exploited and manipulated by courtiers and women, some of whom he imprisoned, beheaded, or hanged.
		Vowing in marriage to be "bonair and buxom/amiable/in bed and at board" and to produce heirs, Henry's wives illustrate to Weir, through their pregnancies, miscarriages, and infants' deaths, both the profligacy of nature and the dependence of political power on sexual prowess.

		The six wives of Henry VIII - Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr - have become defined in a popular sense not so much by their lives as by the way these lives ended.
		Luckily for us, Ms Fraser abandons the view of Henry as despicable tyrant in favour of an intelligent ruler who often consulted his wives on political matters, discussed various aspects of the arts with them, and so often proved to be a much more gentle Henry than history tends to show.
		Anne Boleyn was the second wife of Henry and bearing in mind what happened to her, the four wives who followed her must have been either very brave, or very foolish.
