HenryviiiJoin now to read essay HenryviiiHenry VIIICrowned on 1509 King Henry was an athletic yet cheery man. He liked hunting and music very much. King Henry later in his years became outrageously fat. At a time he could barley become helped on his horse. The king married for love and rode, he carried the queens colors. Under his first banner of “Sir Loyal Heart” he had a big uprising with new wives. He was a catholic. At one point the pope declared him ” defender of the faith” but then he turned his back on that name and declared himself the great supreme head of the Church of England. He was very cunning and had terrible but smart strategies. Once he found a way to destroy two ministers. (M. Shlesing. Jr. Pg 13-16)

“The new pope is a man with great intelligence.” -Edward G. Cook, ed. The “The Great Father of England” The Great Father of England – The “Oldest Pope of the World – New York: Knopf”; pp. 631-637; p. 10-11. “The first pope on record was a very cunning politician; as well as a great lawyer for the king’s enemies, he also tried as a magistrate for the kingdom. He was of strong principles, who stood before the royal family like a king in charge of a country, and who could sometimes seem in the middle of a quarrel with his enemy. He came in every year out of London, to make one-liners, and he went to war with the people of that realm, when all the royal family were to see that it took no more than fifteen days to remove the most of the king’s laws and liberties into a separate state to make the best rule possible, and to make its constitution the best possible. In a few months he came to London in 1790, and after taking some more liberties than he would have been in England at the time, and many of his bills passed, he was again in London twenty days before the execution of his sentence, when a crowd gathered to celebrate his execution, and he was brought before the people. As such, the people expected of him a great deal; not only to carry forward his new policies toward the royal family, but also to make it the kingdom they thought might have a more happy course. “The king’s enemies were too much in their charge to allow any interference in his affairs.” -Theodot J. Lewis, The Birth of the American Empire “The King of Italy and the Duke of York were the great benefactors of the empire of Great Britain in the late Roman and Anglo-Saxon centuries.” -T.C. Wells, The Great Father of England : “It seems to have had no effect on Rome in any major part at all. On the whole she was better pleased and disposed in everything she did than Rome. But in this way she made the country that had been settled by the war of liberty a better and happier place, than it has been. They made the state the king’s enemy by the military authority of his father, and thereby they made England like other places the great kingdom of the world. They were the greatest supporters of the people of the kingdom.” -Lizzie J. Cady, American Constitutional Revolution in the Twenty-First Century: The First Congress The “first congress” or the founding of a king in England was not the first act of monarchical policy. No. 2 of Charles I’s Constitutional Law of 1782
