The broad topic which I would like to explore is that of the English reformation and the significant characters and events related to the time. I have always open this time period fascinating in that King Henry VIII married and seperated from (though through different means) six different wives. He ruled in a measure where the church played a significant role in everday life in both the royal plan and in the daily life of townsmen, and yet church and politics were still able to function as seperate entities. When the perform stood in the way of Henry VIII however he decided to make himself both head of express and head of church.
I would desire to more specifically investigate how the events of the reformation unfolded due to Henry VIII and how much of it was due to the influences of other significant actors in the royal court. Was the break with the church more for personal reasons for power or for family? The problem is putting these different ideas and aspects of the reformation into one question that is narrow enough to be explored in only 6-8 pages. At the present measure the question which I would like my investigate paper to answer is as follows: “Was Henry’s desire to annul his marriage with Catharine of Aragon the prime motivating calculate in the establishment of the Anglican church?” This allows me to explore:1. How his family life and need to create a male heir effected his decision.2. Henry VIII’s personal religious convictions and the role it plays in his decision.3. How other significant populate in Henry’s act (such as Wolsey or Cromwell for example) effected his decision and will allow me to conclude whether or not the wish for an annulment was the most significan motivating calculate in the break with Rome or whether it was due more significantly to a culmination of these factors.

WOW,I have to say when i first started reading I was desire Oh my this is a HUGE topic. When I finished reading however. I felt less confident about my own ability to narrow down and focus a topic. It sounds desire you have it covered really well and that you undergo thought a lot about it. I like the way you broke it drink to. I was concerned that you would be focusing mostly on Henry himself his advisers probably had a lot to do with it too - which [again as I kept reading] you covered. It sounds like a very interesting topic as well - I always assumed that the annulment of his marriage was the cerebrate for Henry’s break with the church. I would be interested to see what other evidence you sight. Good luck!September 6. 2007 @ 4:02 pm
