Thanx :o)Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: William Knight, the king's secretary, was sent to Pope Clement VII to sue for the annulment of his marriage with Catherine!. William Knight (1475/6 – 1547) was the Secretary of State to Henry VIII of England, and Bishop of Bath and Wells!. Knight was sent to Rome in 1527 to try to get Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon annulled!. He rebuilt Horton Court in Gloucestershire using ideas from Italian architecture!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Cardinal Wolsey!.read below By 1527, Henry was convinced that his marriage to Catherine was a sin and that she would never be able to give him a son (Plowden, 2002 p!.31)!. Henry had also fallen in love with Anne Boleyn, although he had previously had mistresses, he needed to marry Anne to ensure that any children were legitimate and secure the dynastic succession!. Anne was determined to be the next queen rather than just a mistress and was supportive of religious reform, as she believed it would enhance her chances of marrying Henry!. Henry therefore, decided to ask the Pope for an annulment!. Clement VII may normally have been accommodating, but he was a virtual prisoner of the Imperial armies of the Charles V!. The mainly Lutheran Imperial army had sacked Rome!. Clement who neither wanted to upset Henry or Charles (who was Catherine's nephew) delayed making any decision, but set up an inquiry over the marriage!. Wolsey was sent by Henry to get an annulment, but had failed to make any progress by 1529!. Henry had grown impatient and influenced by members of the nobility led by the Duke of Norfolk, decided to remove Wolsey from office!. Parliament was also summoned; it would play a central role in breaking papal authority in England and Wales!. http://www!.helium!.com/items/973048-henry!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com he wanted a son to take the throne after him an she couldn't give him 1 thats why he had 6 wives i rememba doing it in historyWww@QuestionHome@Com William knightWww@QuestionHome@Com Lord henrik 4 Of eaast anglia But he was killed so he sent a nother oneWww@QuestionHome@Com |
