Thursday Topic Task:
In this lesson, we will be continuing our learning on Henry VIII. Thomas Wolsey, who was Lord Chancellor to Henry VIII in the early years of his reign, failed to secure Henry’s divorce to Catherine of Aragon. Following this, Henry decided to take matters into his own hands and proceed without the Pope – he selected two men to help him: Thomas Cranmer and Thomas Cromwell.
