Kilkenny, Niall. Life and Times of King Henry VIII, 29th May 2010. Web. 5th June, 2010, [http://www.reformation.org/king-henry8.html].
This is another interesting website with plenty of great facts about the many influential people during the exciting period of reformation England. as opposed to centering on only Henry VIII, this website gives a lot of details about his queens and their thoughts and feelings that swayed the decisions of the king, including good stuff about Queen Anne Boleyn who supported the Protestant cause and gave the king a book by William Tyndale entitled The Obedience of a Christian Man, although Tyndale had lost favor in the church because of his translation of the New Testament into English. The website clearly states the religious swinging back and forth the English people had to deal with from one queen to another, from Catherin of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, and other wives of Henry VII, and on through the reign of the very Catholic Mary and ending with a tolerant Elizabeth I.
