Question 3

Short answer

In her work on Henry VIII, Allison Weir wrote "Sovereigns in the 16th century were perceived as semi-divine beings; a king was not just a normal man, but also the Lord’s Anointed, His deputy on earth, called by “divine right” to hold dominion over his subjects...A king was entitled to expect the same devotion and obedience from his people as he himself gave to God, for there was a presumption that the King’s law was God’s law. " Explain one example from the readings we did on Henry VIII that would support the idea that Henry VIII is an excellent example of this type of sovereign.
