Notes 9/27- Anne Boleyn

  • Henry VII had committed himself to get Anne. 
    • She was 10 years younger than Catherine of Aragon.
  • Catherine had a daughter named Mary, and the king started recoiling from her because she could not produce a male heir. 
  • Henry got rid of Woolsey
  • This is when Henry tried to divorce.
  • Henry marries Anne secretly.
  • Annnd now the king is the ruler of the church, not the pope. 

  • First, Henry shut Catherine off in some castle somwhere
  • Mary is considered, on the occassion of the new marriage, to be a bastard child (illegitimate)
  • Then, the rise of Cromwell, who will solidify Henry's rule and made it that anyone who goes against the fact that Henry is head of the church is committing treason.
    • Cromwell translated the bible into English. 
    • He managed to turn England into a frightened, jumpy place.

    • Anne gave birth to Elizabeth, and Henry wasa upset but he wa going to try again. 
    • Later, Anne is again pregnant and Catherine is dead. 
    • Sir Cromwell said that Anne must go to be able to go with the plans
    • Anne was going to have a boy, but then she had a miscarriage.
    • Cromwell sees to it that Anne is executed. 
    • Henry now needs to find a new wife that will hopefully give him a male heir. 
     *The act of supremacy is what made henry head of the church.
