Then came go great so sudden a change that historians find difficulty in believing the splen King Henry of early years was the cruel, stern, obstinate monarch Henry's later reign. And a woiman was at the bottom of all the trouble! Henry's elder brother, Arthur, had married Princess Catherine of Ara§@ gon, aunt of Emperor Charles V. of Germany. After Arthur's death ang had married Henry. She was six years older than her young husband a: unlike him in any way, Henry was bright, handsome, merry. Catherini was sour, ugly and austere. The {ll-matched couple had one daughter (afters ward Queen Mary) and no sons, So, by 1528, Henry found himself, at the age of thirty-seven, yoked unhappily to an old and ill-tempered woman, and with the prospect that the kingdom he had ralsed to world-power might sink to insignificance at his death for lack of a male heir to carry on his greatness, Mary, his only child, was a sickly girl who inherited her mother’é disposition. . Then—perhaps solely for high reasons of patriotism, perhaps because. pretty Annie Boleyn, the Queen’s mafd of honor, had caught his fancy, Henry, decided to divorce Catherine. Ho had, or claimed to have, doubts as fa\ the legality of his marriage, and applied to the Pope to have it annul But Charles V., Catherine's nephew, was all powerful in Romé, and oppo: 9 the annulment. Henry settled the matter by throwing off all allegiance to the Pope,-modifying his country’s. religion and decinting -himsslf-the supreme -head of the English Church. In this capacity he “dtvorced Cathe erine and married Anne Boleyn, incidentally casting off bis wisest ’sdy{s4e; Cardinal Wolsey, who had been rash enough to pose him, By Anne he had ono daughter, (atterwant TN }The King Who- Queen beth), Bat Anns-was-soon-atterward: m}<— $Had Six Wives }' pected of unfaithfulness, and Henry ‘had her: executed: in 1636.

Henry then sent his counsellor, Thom: Cromwell, tothe Continent to choose him a new wife. Cromwell selected Anne of Cleves,'a German princess.
