the normal society lifestyle until the late 1950
s. Most men and women would not have ever slept
with another person out of wedlock. While this
sexual abstinence lifestyle was in effect, a

The Dissolution of the Monasteries and the events
which followed, were all brought about as a direct
result of the break with Rome. The reason for the
break, lies simply in Henrys frustration at his
inability to secure a divorce form his wife
Catherine of Aragon, and a blessing from the Pope
for his new marriage to Anne Boleyn, although

Europe. Roads, bridges, and the infrastructure
generally were non-existent. Furthermore, the
countryside was unsafe for travel due to a lack of
organized law enforcement. Small villages had to
take care of themselves; therefore, manufacturing
was carried on only to the extent that was needed
to supply local needs. In the little kingdoms or
principalities, the lands over which a King ruled
were regarded as no different from other property.

Act 3 Scene 2 End Of The Play

1 Henry Iv HENRY IV 1 Henry IV is a play that
concerns itself with political power and kingship
in English history. References to kingship are
prevalent throughout the play, especially in the
depiction of the characters. Although most of the
characters in this play could teach us about
kingship, I would like to focus my attention to
Prince Henry. I think that this character helps us
to best understand what kingship meant at this

word of faith, 4) the church as the fellowship of
saints and the priesthood of all believers, and 5)
the fallibility of man and his institutions. As
