This just in; new evidence indicates that Henry the 8th had 8 + wives, was more the northern Viking and monogamy was not his culture. He was the King and the suggestion that he left the Catholic Church since he was not allowed to divorce while also being a murderer of 8 women does not accord with actual historical evidence. In that hour of history, Henry 8th would have had need for many bairn or children and the suggestion that his wives were dead or missing was a way to hide them. He also wanted the headship of the nation to be one; no time for the Queen's public likes and distastes; as a Viking would have it in a disdain for the imposed Catholic formalities in preference to the informalities. In spite of the Ofsted university exam book rules and graduation formalities, he has to be the boss it might seem with all due respect. Elizabeth 1st had a spouse but they wanted the family to remain hidden for fear of reprisal or ransom Mary Queen of Scots and her husband Phillip from Spain were not killed but hidden. Henry the 8th continued in rulership while faking his death and used Elizabeth 1st S a figure head; kind of like a Vader and Palpatine. During that alleged Elizabeth 1st reign, he went around England sacking all the other houses in Sussex and ruling families to amalgamate the rule of one.
