On page 106 there is a fascinating photograph of the actual petition
to Clement VII for Henry VIII’s divorce from Catherine of Aragon signed
and sealed by numerous supporters including Cardinal Wolsey. The
attached red seals give an opportunity to explain the term, “red tape”.
The photo of the document is from the Vatican Archives but it is not translated
nor large enough to read in Latin. I have not been able to locate
a copy on the web but the photo is an interesting illustration.

(Anne Boleyn “large with child” at the time of marriage and coronation)
This site provides a copy of a letter from Archbishop Cranmer describing
the coronation of Anne Boleyn and explaining that, contrary to contemporary
rumors, she and Henry were married prior to the coronation. It also
provides primary evidence that Anne was already pregnant.

(Act of Supremacy making Henry VIII the head of the Church in England)
This site provides a copy of the Act of Supremacy and links to the
other five parliamentary acts which established the Church of England.
While it may not be of use in its detailed form it may be useful as a visual
aide or selections may be noted.

In this website an original page, in Latin, of In Defense of the Seven
Sacraments against Martin Luther, allegedly written by Henry VIII can be
viewed. This is the Vatican copy signed and presented to the Vatican
by Henry VIII. Henry was given the title “Defender of the Faith”
for writing this book. All English monarchs have kept the title since.
Also on this site is a letter from Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn in French.
http://englishhistory.net/tudor/letters.html
This website provides English versions of the letters of Henry VIII’s
six wives to a variety of persons. Each letter is accompanied with
a short paragraph of historical background to the letter. This
site also has a link called “Primary Sources” which gives a chronological
list of every imaginable document associated with the life of Henry VIII
and a transcript of the document.
Narrative history
The websites listed below provide historical accounts of these events.
They are not primary sources nor are they exhaustive but are helpful for
research and background information.

(woodcut, Charles V)
There are only a few paintings available on the web of Charles V.
This woodcut can be enlarged. Other sites may be identified with
color portraits.
http://tudorhistory.org/wives/
(Henry VIII’s six wives; each wife has her own Gallery with her signature,
crest, and pictures)
This website is a personal site for Tudor enthusiasts. Therefore
it’s historical significance, while impressively through, may or may not
be acceptable. Nonetheless, it provides one of the best picture galleries
for this subject. Each player in this drama is given their own gallery
(see below) and the selection is very good. I recommend this site
to help students identify the human element of these events.
http://tudorhistory.org/henry8/
[same web site] Henry’s section has two full galleries including
traditional & family portraits, pictures from youth & infancy and
the wax figure of Henry VIII from Madame Tussaud's in London.

trade.html (Italy, medieval map)
The maps on this website are excellent. They provide several
period maps for medieval Europe, The Crusades, Trade Routes, The Black
Death, etc. This particular map slightly predates our period but
is helpful because it demonstrates to students that Italy was not “one
country”.
