492 years ago today, on January 25, 1533 (January 1, 1533 lunar calendar), King Henry VIII of England married Anne Boleyn. King Henry VIII of England (1509-1547) King of Britain, he was fat, greedy and slutty, married 6 times in his life, divorced 2 times, and sent 2 of his wives to the guillotine. He had a widow-in-law named Catherine, Princess of Spain and aunt of Emperor Charles V of Rome, who was 5 years older than Henry. When Henry took the throne, he married Catherine as queen and had a daughter with Catherine named Mary. Henry was unhappy because he failed to produce a male heir as he wished. Later, Henry fell in love with another woman, named Anna Boleyn, and immediately asked for a divorce from Catherine. He was opposed by the Pope. In order to divorce, Henry VIII did not hesitate to break with the Pope. On January 25, 1533, Henry married Anna Boleyn and carried out the Reformation in England, making England from a Catholic country to a Protestant country. Henry and Anna Boleyn had another daughter named Elizabeth. Three years after their marriage, in 1536, Anna Boleyn was imprisoned in the Tower of London by Henry for infidelity and then executed. After Henry VIII's death, he and Catherine's daughter Mary took the throne in 1553. The young Mary seemed to be born with hatred for Protestantism. After taking the throne, she began to restore the status and property of Catholicism, persecute Protestants, and fight Protestant forces. History is known as the "Bloody Mary" era.
