In Reply to: RE: Henrys axe to grind was the Popes refusal to grant him a divorce n/t posted by grinagog on March 20, 2008 at 19:58:00:
Though Ann and the desire for an heir were the catalyst fersher. Henry was mightily POd at numerous clerics whom he considered obstructive. And he has an overwhelming sense of self entitlement, which made him covetous of the abbey's wealth long before he was baulked in his divorce.
It was hell to live through but turned out all right in the end - we got Elizabeth I outa that deal.
