Henry VII conversely had some 70,000-80,000 people killed during his reign, including More, Fisher, and others who "got in his way", and he was "loved"? He may have been loved initially by his people, but his cruelty knew no bounds. When not murdering wives and friends, he profited by wrenching the English people away from their 1,000 year old spiritual and religious traditions, closing abbeys and convents that had provided the people with schools, hospices, orphanages, and employment. These he sold or gave them to his cronies. Look up "Pilgrimage of Grace" to see how Henry was "loved". <br /><br />As for the women whom he married, it's true that the public didn't want Ann, preferring Catherine, but there is nothing to suggest that they hated his other wives.

It must have galled his evil soul that he remained in<br />an unmarked grave for nearly three hundred years.<br /><br />Thanks for the insight.
