Henry VIII Reign in England
Territorial gains that Agincourt brought were very soon lost, even Gascony and then by 1453 only Calais remained as the only English possession in Europe. The loss started a series of bloody events that were horrible in Medieval (or is it MediEVIL) Britain and it again lost its glory, until Tudor Henry VII came to the throne after winning the battle of Market Bosworth in 1485 and starting another century in Britain.
Later Henry VIII could not divorce his wife, as the Roma Pope would not allow it, so in reprisal he burned the Roman Catholic Churches in England and created his own church The Church of England. According to his new Church of which of course he was the head, he could divorce his wife Queen Catherine and remarry again whomever he pleased and as many times as he pleased, since he had no descendant/offspring/heirs for the Royal Throne yet.
He was a ruthless ruler hearing nobody but himself, so he burned all the Catholic Monasteries in Britain and the landowners lost their land forever. He did after all have the Kings Divine Right to do this, as this was given to him by God when he was born. After Henrys death, his daughter Mary took over, but she is mostly hated as she tried to undo everything that her father had done and acted as a Queen Tyrant.
But she left no offspring, so after her death her Protestant half-sister Elizabeth gained control of England. Her rule is considered to be the golden period in Britain’s history as she led colonization, explorations, victory in wars and also the arts flourished during this period with writers like Shakespeare and Bacon.
