Love, A new lady at Court, Anne Boleyn, has stolen my heart. I love my wife and I have mistresses, but Anne is refusing to let me be with her unless we are married., Religion, People in England are becoming more and more fed up with the ways of the Catholic Church. They can’t even follow Church services as they are in Latin and the people speak English. And the priests don't always act very 'Holy' , The Protestant ideas gaining popularity across Europe. Many German Princes have been swept up on the new religion. They are reforming the Church according to their own ideas and taking control, Money, I am King and my tastes are very expensive. I like to wear the best clothes and throw the best parties. I need lots of money to do this., Catholic churches in England are very rich. They are full of gold and treasures. I could use that wealth to pay for future wars and to build new palaces, The taxes given in church by my people every Sunday go straight to Rome. The Church is very wealthy and owns much land in England, so we send Rome quite a lot of money. Maybe that money should stay in England instead. I could think of lots of ways to spend it, Power, I don’t like being told what to do. I am King! I should not have to ask the Pope for permission to do anything. I want the power to make my own decisions, My wife is too old to have more children. She has had a daughter, but we have no son. I need an heir The Tudor line needs to be secured so that we can keep power..
