Cine s-a întâlnit cu Henric al VIII-lea al Angliei?

Henric al VIII-lea (în engleză Henry VIII) (n. 28 iunie 1491, Greater London, Anglia, Regatul Unit – d. 28 ianuarie 1547, Greater London, Anglia, Regatul Unit) a fost rege al Angliei din 21 aprilie 1509 până la moartea sa.

Henric al VIII-lea a fost al doilea monarh al Casei Tudor, succedând tatălui său, Henric al VII-lea. Este faimos datorită faptului că a avut șase soții: Catherine de Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne de Cleves, Catherine Howard și Catherine Parr.

Henric al VIII-lea a fost al doilea fiu al lui Henric al VII-lea și al Elisabetei de York. Fratele său mai mare, Arthur, Prinț de Wales, a murit în 1502, lăsându-l pe Henric moștenitor al tronului.

Elizabeth Carew (née Bryan; c. 1500 – 1546) was an English courtier and reputed mistress of King Henry VIII.

A daughter of Sir Thomas Bryan and Margaret Bourchier, Elizabeth became the wife of Henry VIII's close friend Sir Nicholas Carew, an influential statesman who was eventually executed for his alleged involvement in the Exeter Conspiracy. She is described as being beautiful by many historians.

Her brother, Sir Francis, a member of the Privy Chamber and one of the king's closest friends, sat on the jury that convicted his sister's husband, who was sentenced to death, and thus reduced her to penury.

Margaret Shelton (likely died before 1555) was the sister of Mary Shelton, and was once thought to be a mistress of Henry VIII of England.

Mary Berkeley (1480 circa – XVI secolo) è stata una delle amanti di Enrico VIII d'Inghilterra.

In seguito alla relazione con il re, diede alla luce due figli, Thomas e John mai riconosciuti. In seguito sposò sir Thomas Perrot ed in seconde nozze Thomas Jones.

Anne Basset (1520 – before 1558) was an English lady-in-waiting of the Tudor period, reputed to have been the mistress of King Henry VIII.

Anne Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon (née Anne Stafford) (c. 1483–1544) was an English noble. She was the daughter of Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, and Catherine Woodville, sister of queen consort Elizabeth Woodville. She was first the wife of Sir Walter Herbert and then George Hastings, 1st Earl of Huntingdon, and served in the household of King Henry VIII's daughter, the future Queen Mary I.

Elizabeth Stafford, Countess of Sussex (c. 1479 – 11 May 1532) was an English noblewoman.

Mary Boleyn (c. 1499 – 19 or 30 July 1543), also known as Lady Mary, was the sister of English queen consort Anne Boleyn, whose family enjoyed considerable influence during the reign of King Henry VIII.

Mary was one of the mistresses of Henry VIII for an unknown period. It has been rumoured that she bore two of the King's children, though Henry did not acknowledge either. Mary was also rumoured to have been a mistress of Henry VIII's rival, King Francis I of France, for some period between 1515 and 1519.

Mary Boleyn was married twice: in 1520 to William Carey, and again, secretly, in 1534, to William Stafford, a soldier from a good family but with few prospects. This secret marriage to a man considered beneath her station angered King Henry VIII and her sister, Queen Anne, and resulted in Mary's banishment from the royal court. She died seven years later, having spent the remainder of her life in obscurity.

Elizabeth Blount (c. 1498/c. 1500/c. 1502 – 1540), commonly known during her lifetime as Bessie Blount, was a mistress of Henry VIII of England.
