woah, you have really thought this one out! I really like how you narrowed it down, it makes the topic way more manageable, but still gets to the main point of what you want to research. That is a really interesting topic. Are there many primary sources available? (I don’t know much about that, so I was just curious.)

I think that is a great topic. Henry VIII was such an interesting man. Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it.
Good Luck

You did well on setting up your blog. I have often wondered if Henry the VIII was purely motivated by the need for an heir. At least that was the impression that I got fro some of my earlier history classes.

WOW,I have to say when i first started reading I was like Oh my, this is a HUGE topic. When I finished reading however, I felt less confident about my own ability to narrow down and focus a topic. It sounds like you have it covered really well and that you have thought a lot about it. I like the way you broke it down to. I was concerned that you would be focusing mostly on Henry himself, his advisers probably had a lot to do with it too – which [again as I kept reading] you covered. It sounds like a very interesting topic as well – I always assumed that the annulment of his marriage was the reason for Henry’s break with the church. I would be interested to see what other evidence you find. Good luck!
