Final answer:
The refusal of Henry Clerval's father to allow him to attend the University of Ingolstadt cannot be explained with the provided historical information, which discusses King Henry VIII's issues with the Catholic Church and his desire for an annulment.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to why Henry Clerval's father denied him from attending the University of Ingolstadt. However, this does not appear to be related to the historical context provided as the references discuss Henry VIII of England and his conflict with the Catholic Church. The primary reason Henry VIII rejected the authority of the Catholic Church was that he was angry that the pope would not annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, so that he could marry Anne Boleyn in the hope of having a male heir. This led to the creation of the Church of England with Henry VIII at its head, allowing him to annul his own marriage.
It's important to note that Henry Clerval is a fictional character from Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein", and the mentioned University of Ingolstadt is where another character, Victor Frankenstein, went to study. Unfortunately, without the correct context or actual literary reference to why Clerval's father refused, the provided historical information cannot accurately answer the student's question about a fictional character.
