Henry VIII's Early Life

Henry VIII's Early Life

Henry VIII was born at the Palace of Placentia at Greenwich on 28 June 1491 , Henry VIII was the third child of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. His sisters were called Margaret Tudor and Mary Tudor. His brother was called Arthur, Prince of Wales. Arthur was the first born son and therefore the Prince of Wales and heir to the English crown.

 

Henry VIII was spoilt by his doting grandmother and mother together with the attendants in his retinue. His grandmother, Margaret Beaufort, supervised his early education. Henry VIII was considered a handsome and precocious toddler who was noted for his energy and his temper.

 

Prince Henry as the second son was groomed to take the secular life, probably taking the role of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The focus of his education was theology. This knowledge of the subject and the bible was to be of great help to him in his later life.

 

Henry VIII received an education befitting a prince of the royal blood. Henry VIII was taught a range of different lessons including languages, grammar, theology, history, rhetoric, logic, philosophy, arithmetic, logic, literature, geometry, and music. In addition to all of theses subjects the education of the young Henry VIII also included astronomy, navigation and cartographer and non-academic subjects such as riding, jousting, tennis, archery, hunting and dancing.

 

The closest childhood friends of Henry VIII were his cousins, William Compton and Charles Brandon and a young noble called Henry Norris. Charles Brandon shared his most prominent characteristics - natural athleticism, strong physical health and an enthusiasm for all sports including riding, hunting, tilting and jousting. During his early life Henry VIII had his own retinue with servants and minstrels. He also had a fool named John Goose. Like all the noble households Henry VIII has a whipping boy. A whipping boy was a boy of the same age, but lower rank, who was raised with a prince or noble as a playmate and took the place of the prince when he misbehaved - the prince would therefore only have received indirect punishments. The names of the young nobles who acted as whipping boys to Henry VIII are unknown.

They say that Hitler wanted to bring forth a pure-Aryan civilisation & tried to wipe out all non-Aryans to do that.
