| Henry VIII attacks Luther (D.Starkey) Clip on Henry's attack on Luther's ideas composed in his treatise, Assertio Septem Sacramentorum. Within this Henry criticised Luther's stance on the sacraments by defending the validity of all seven sacraments. It has been argued that university theologians actually did the first draft of the work, Thomas More then worked upon it and Henry added the finishing touches. Ultimately though Henry did contribute to the piece and was firm in his rejection of Lutheran ideas. The work was published in July 1521 and coincided with public burnings of Luther's work. Henry received the title, 'Defender of the Faith' in October 1521 from Pope Leo X due to Henry's defence of the papacy and the Catholic Church. Despite his break from Rome years later, Henry did not relinquish the title and took on board the idea that he was the true defender of the English Church. The title was adopted by successive monarchs and is still used by the Queen today. It is important to remember that Henry was never a Lutheran. He viewed them as heretics and they continued to be persecuted following the Break from Rome. Henry essentially remained a conservative in religion, endorsing the Catholic view of mass (transubstantiation) and rejected those who did not believe this. | |

| The Battle of Flodden 1513 ( Part 4 of 6 -- other parts below in links) Documentary on the Battle of Flodden in 1513. The battle between the English and the Scots resulted in the death of James IV of Scotland along with numerous casualties. The English army was commanded by Thomas Howard, earl of Surrey, who after winning victory, was granted back the dukedom of Norfolk which had been confiscated after Surrey and his father had fought for Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. Incidentally Surrey's son, also called Thomas Howard, would be the famous Duke of Norfolk who was a leading nobleman during the reign of Henry VIII. One of Surrey's daughters was Elizabeth, who married Thomas Boleyn and was mother to Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife. Another of Surrey's granddaughters would also be married to Henry VIII (Katherine Howard). | |

| The History of The Mary Rose Part 4 of 6 (other parts available in the links below) Documentary on the remains of Henry VIII's infamous ship, the Mary Rose. Examines not only the structure of the ship and the artefacts left behind, including the skeletons, but also attempts to identify what life was like on the ship. It is not definitely known when and where the Mary Rose was constructed. The Mary Rose may have been one of the ships mentioned in a warrant to John Dawtry for the construction of two ships in 1510. There is also evidence that the ship was constructed at Portsmouth due to payments being made to convey two ships from Portsmouth to the Thames in 1511. The ship is believed to have been named partly after Henry's sister, Mary, and the Tudor emblem of the rose. This has led the actual Mary Tudor to be popularly nicknamed 'Mary Rose' or 'Mary Rose Tudor'. Whilst this makes her easier to distinguish from her niece, she was never called 'Mary Rose'. The Mary Rose website discusses in detail the sinking itself and the various reasons for this attributed by contemporaries: http://www.maryrose.org/ship/history1... | |

Why on this page does it have videos about the Battle of Flodden? Henry wasn't even in the country at that time. He wasn't involved i the battle at all. It was Catherine who rallied the troops, appointed the leader, sent them to the field and then arranged for another 2000 to be sent after. She was even riding up North but the Battle was won so she was no longer needed up there.
