Answer 1

Henry VII was the first Tudor king, and Henry VIII married six times, seeking divorce from Catherine of Aragon for a male heir. The Act of Supremacy established the Church of England, with Anne of Cleves and Catherine Howard married for political reasons. Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were executed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first Tudor king was Henry VII, who established the Tudor dynasty after his victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, marking the end of the Wars of the Roses. King Henry VIII was married six times. The core reason Henry VIII wanted a divorce from Catherine of Aragon was his desire for a male heir, which Catherine was unable to provide, and Henry's belief that their marriage was cursed due to her being his brother's widow. The Act of Supremacy was passed by Parliament in 1534, establishing the Church of England with the monarch as its head, and thus giving Henry the power to annul his own marriage. King Henry VIII married Anne of Cleves and Catherine Howard for political reasons, and the two wives of Henry VIII who were executed were Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard.
