490 0 |a Henry VIII: the mind of a tyrant 
520 |a The courtiers who had helped Cromwell dispatch Anne hoped that the Schism with Rome would now be healed. They were soon disabused. Henry was not going to let go of the power the Supremacy gave him. The destruction of the monasteries proceeded apace, with the loot flowing into Henry's coffers. Even the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge would have gone, had not Henry's third queen Jane Seymour interceded. But the orgy of iconoclasm provoked isolation abroad and rebellion at home. Henry's response showed him at his most duplicitous and ruthless. He lured the rebels' leader to London with the promise of talks 'to hear from your mouth the whole circumstance and beginning of this matter', and then had him hanged, drawn and quartered. Henry's private life was hardly less turbulent. The death of Jane Seymour robbed him of someone he was genuinely fond of, who had given him the male heir he craved. His marriage to Katherine Howard briefly re-kindled the flames of desire, but her platonic affair with a young courtier made her another victim of political intrigue. David's archival research has revealed the full story behind her tragic fate. But as Henry grew older, more ill, and more dangerous to all around him, he was busy forging a new English identity -- of a fiercely independent nation set at one remove from Europe. A massive series of coastal fortifications gave tangible expression to the new sense of national destiny, as did the expanding Tudor navy. Henry had inherited a chronically weak institution, the English crown, and had forged it into an instrument of unprecedented power, and then wielded it to change forever the nature of both England and the English. In doing so, he had not hesitated to cut down any who stood in his way. Revolutionaries are like that.
