4. Henry VIII’s aims • From last lesson, can you remember Henry VIII’s key aims when he comes on to the throne? • To establish his status amongst the European monarchs through marriage • To re-establish the role of the nobility • To establish himself as a warrior king through success in battle. Question: Do you think those aims will have remained the same throughout his reign? Explain your answer. • The first 5 years of his reign saw him secure his marriage, his coronation and a victory over the Scots. For better or worse, he destroyed his father’s legacy through warfare and extravagance. • Henry certainly exhibited ruthlessness and cynicism (show through his treatment of Empson and Dudley). This was a trait that remained throughout his reign. His resort to execution for treason, often on the flimsiest of charges, combined with tyranny and insecurity in a way that completely overshadowed those positive qualities as seen in the younger king. • He also demonstrated impulsiveness in his speed to marry, not only with Catherine but also Anne of Cleaves and Catherine Howard. This impulsiveness can also be seen elsewhere, such as the decision to execute Thomas Cromwell (which he appears to regret). When combined with the sort of naivety demonstrated in his approach to foreign policy, the consequences would be potentially devastating.

5. What happened to the Government in the early years of Henry VIII? Before we look at specific policies and reforms, we need to think about how the governing system worked under Henry VIII. Unlike his father, Henry took a more ‘hands-off’ approach and left Wolsey with the day-to-day control of government. However that was not the only thing that changed. TASK: Read through your sheet ‘Government under Henry VIII: Early Years’ and make a decision on the following statement: ‘Henry’s government transformed in the early years of his reign’ Draw the continuum below and mark the degree of change you think there was. You will then need to write a PEEL paragraph with your answer. Continuity Change

13. What was the ‘King’s Great Matter’? The King’s Great Matter: concerned the annulment of Henry VIII’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon and his desires to marry Anne Boleyn; this was a complex situation which would ultimately lead to England’s break from the Catholic Church. The problems over resolving ‘the King’s Great Matter’ led in the short term the downfall of Wolsey and in the longer term to the establishment of the royal supremacy. This was brought about under the direction of Wolsey’s successor as chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, from 1532 by Parliament. TASK: Create a cartoon strip that tells the story of how ‘the King’s Great Matter’ came about, what happened and the downfall of Wolsey using the information on pages 58-60 and the video clips. (TIP: read through, make a list of what will be in each box, divide up sheet and complete) You will then need to explain how it led to the downfall of Wolsey in 1529.
