Henry's military and the impact it had on the world
Dec 16 2008, 10:55 PM EST
Henry was a mastermind with the military! He LOVED ships and he greatly improved all aspects of the English Military...Pope Clement was having problems with Henry because of Anne/Katherine issue then Pope Paul inherited those problems so there was 'bad blood' between Paul and Henry from the first. When Henry decided to start the Reformation DO YOU THINK that Spain or France WOULD have invaded England for the Pope and Church OR did the MAJOR improvements that he made make Charles and Francis think twice about action against England?? What o YOU think?? Pope Paul was big on reform in the Church he even expelled 'dissidents' from communities to protect the Catholic Community. The Jesuits (I believe was his idea) With Charles being Holy Roman Emperor AND Aunt Katherine a devout Catholic crown being threatned. WHY did NO ONE try to invade England?? Henry VII severly weakened the English Military so at that time it was believed that Spain had the might to attempt invasion of England. So Henry VII's improvements MUST have been a BIG deal.... Pope Paul and the Church MUST have wanted aggressive action taken at some point. An Elizabeth had a keen military mind as well, Without the improvements that she and her father made in the military thenPhillip II would have most likely helped put Mary Queen of Scots on the English throne. The Spanish Armada during Elizabeth's time was legend! And Pope Sixtus was willing to PAY Phillip( or was it Ferdinand) around a million dollars to attack England! So the strength of the military helped the Reformation be a little less bloddy...well, on the international end...not Henry's end! I would love some input on this THANKS Do you find this valuable? |
