His dissolution of the abbeys, and destruction of the beautiful churches, etc. is the worst of the worst. Therefore, in my mind he was a disaster as a king. Battle of Flodden was fought while Henry was in France, and was approved by Catherine.<br />I'm fascinated by the disappearing wives mug. What fun! Hope I win.

I don't think the man learned to love either. <br /><br />Flodden is complicated to say the least. The political drama and religious fighting led to the bloody field at Flodden.

He seemed to want to not only be "king of all things" so to speak, but also wanted to be a poet and artist as well. He wasn't really sure what he wants, from religion to women to friends, and so just changed his mind as his whims developed. This is pretty basic but this is what I think about him at the core :).<br />Thanks again!Colleen Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976640192696124574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-85427197339271484612011-12-19T15:20:39.950-05:002011-12-19T15:20:39.950-05:00Hi,

He was doing fine until he started obsessing about an heir, younger women and the church. I feel as he aged he just started losing it and no one could help him because of his supreme power. If anyone got in his way he killed them.<br /><br />Flodden is so damn complicated between Scotland and England. England and France. Scotland and France. OY! Power, land, power, land. Take your pick. Oh, and throw in a bit of religion. Henry was fighting Louis. James was siding with Louis so he fought Henry. Henry wanted to be the boss of James...*sigh* If women ruled the world I think it might have been slightly more peaceful.<br /><br />I follow<br />I facebooked https://www.facebook.com/pattyleonardwoodland/posts/219610624782339<br /><br />Thank youbrokenteepeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907414560986208401noreply@blogger.com
