changes in England that occurred under the rule of one of the wellknown figures in the Royal history of England. They were the five sovereigns of the Tudor dynasty (Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, Elizabeth I ) who ruled England for 118 years. Each member of the Tudor family was known for anticipating in certain historical events. For instance, King Henry VIII was known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. He was also known for his six marriages, especially the story of his marriage to Anne Boleyn. This research will focus whether Anne Boleyn was a victim or a ?criminal King Henry VII and Queen Elizabeth had two sons Arthur and Henry who was named after his father. Since that Henry was the second son and he was not expected to become king there are not enough details about Henry until the death of his older brother Arthur the Prince of Wales. Henry's older brother was married to Spanish princess who was Catalina De Aragon or Katherine of Aragon. After a few months Prince Arthur was dead and Henry was the new and only heir to the throne. In 1509, King Henry VII died and he was succeeded by his second son, Henry VIII who was just 17 back then. Later, the pope gave a special dispensation to the young king in order to marry his brother's widow and who was also king Henry VIII first wife, Katherine of Aragon in1509. Although, Katherine was pregnant many times, only one of her children survived who was Princess Mary who was later became queen. Also, she was known as Bloody Mary .for the number of Protestant executions in her reign Henry VIII was famous for that his reign included by two very important events that affected the history of England :the Protestant Reformation, which led to the formation of the Church of England and his several marriages and the fate of his wives who were whether
divorced, beheaded, died or just survived. Also, he was
known for his relationships with Queen Katherine's ladies. He was desperate for an heir to continue the Tudor dynasty. Meanwhile, his twenty years of marriage to Queen Katherine resulted in many dead sons and just one surviving child and now the queen at the age of 40 cannot give birth to more children, especially a male heir which tortured him and he began to question whether their marriage was legal and valid. To have a male heir was not the only reason for King Henry's desire to get divorce. He was obsessed and in love with Anne Boleyn who refused to .be his mistress and would only accepts him by marriage As a result, King Henry VIII wanted dispensation for his marriage with Katherine from Pope Clement VII, in order to marry Anne Boleyn, but the pope refused his request. So he broke from the Catholic Church of Rome and established the Church of England and assigned .himself as the Head of the Church of England
