The Henry Of 1521, Who Received A Papal Title For Writing In Defense Of The Faith, Was No More. The Young

“The Henry of 1521, who received a papal title for writing in defense of the faith, was no more. The young zealous Catholic had undergone a transformation from seeing the papacy as an institution of veneration to one that had little relevance for his personal faith or rule. It was partly the influence of the sack of Rome and the character of Clement VII, but largely the result of Henry’s developing awareness of questions raised by the new learning which he could harness in the hope of reaching his own goals.”

— Catherine of Aragon: An Intimate Life, Amy Licence

Another abridged account, similar to that in Hall and Grafton. At the end is the following sentence : “See the works of God and the mutability of this world ; for this queen Anne, that (as afore is showed) was so triumphantly crowned, within three years next ensueing was attainted of high treason, divorced from the King, and her head stricken off ; and this child that was christened with such pomp was, within three years and less, in open court parliament, declared for a bastard, and deprived of the name of princess.” The sentence in italics is erased.
