Henry Viii's Letter To Anne Boleyn

Through analyzing the different sources and trying to determine if the appeal of protestantism coming from its spiritual dimensions rather from other things it had to offer. While reading through most of the sources my first opinion was that it came from its spiritual dimensions because they are much less strict religiously and this allowed King Henry VIII to divorce Catherine of Aragon who was Henry's dead brothers wife. This happened because of her not producing the son he desired. The result of this was him starting to write love notes to Anne Boleyn. The letter was very flirtatious saying that he would miss her and kiss her. This was problematic because of the how the church would not let him divorce and remarry therefore he started the

As this happened and the reformation was starting to begin Henry had proclaimed himself the supreme head of the Church of England. The first source that I chose was 3.4 which is Henry VIII’s letter to Anne Boleyn I chose this because it a good depiction of how the reformation started because of his love for Ann and how this was a big problem for Henry because in order to marry here he had to divorce his current wife which would make the commoners lose more respect for him.
