Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Yes, regarding your first point - very basically! Henry was also in love with his next wife-to-be at the time, so he wanted to get on with the business of fathering his heir with her!.

It's a popular myth that Henry wrote "Greensleeves"!.

"Greensleeves is a traditional English ballad written by an unknown composer!. There is a legend that King Henry VIII wrote Greensleeves about Anne Boleyn!. This is not likely, however, because the song is written in a style which was not known in England until after Henry VIII died!."
