Кто встречался с Генрих VIII?

Ге́нрих VIII (англ. Henry VIII; 28 июня 1491, дворец Плацентия, Лондон^[…] — 28 января 1547, Уайтхолл, Лондон) — король Англии с 22 апреля 1509, сын и наследник короля Англии Генриха VII, второй английский монарх из династии Тюдоров. С согласия Римской католической церкви английские короли именовались также «Повелителями Ирландии», однако в 1541 году, по требованию отлучённого от католической церкви Генриха VIII, ирландский парламент наделил его титулом «Король Ирландии». Образованный и одарённый, Генрих правил как представитель европейского абсолютизма, к концу царствования жестоко преследовал своих действительных и мнимых политических оппонентов. В поздние годы страдал от ожирения и гангрены ноги.

Генрих VIII больше всего известен своим прямым участием в Английской реформации, что сделало Англию в большинстве своём протестантской нацией; и необычным для христианина числом браков — всего у короля было шесть жён, из них с двумя он развёлся, а двух казнил по обвинению в измене. Король стремился произвести на свет наследника мужского пола для консолидации власти династии Тюдоров. Развод Генриха VIII с его первой супругой, Екатериной Арагонской, повлёк за собой отлучение короля от католической церкви и ряд церковных реформ в Англии, когда англиканская церковь отделилась от римской католической. Кроме того, постоянная смена жён и фавориток короля и церковная реформация оказались серьёзной ареной для политической борьбы и привели к ряду казней политических деятелей, среди которых были, например, Томас Мор и Томас Кромвель.

Jane Popincourt (c. 1484 – c. 1530 CE) was a French noblewoman, tutor, and maid-of-honour. She served in the courts of Henry VII and Henry VIII of England.

For around twelve years, she had a position at the English court, first in the reign of Henry VII, as a distinguished tutor engaged to teach French to the princesses Margaret and Mary; and later in 1509, on the accession of Henry VIII, she was appointed a maid-of-honour to his wife, Catherine of Aragon. In 1514, there were rumors that Jane had become the King's mistress.

During the Battle of the Spurs in 1513, the King's troops captured a number of French nobles, notably Louis I d'Orléans, duke of Longueville. It is unknown if the Duke had met Jane at the French court, but as her countryman they seem to have been introduced upon his arrival at the English court and they soon began a liaison. Although he was technically a hostage, he was used as a supplementary ambassador in arranging the marriage of Mary Tudor and Louis XII, and was treated with respect as such. This damaged the reputation of Jane, who was probably then in her mid-to-late twenties, an age by which a woman would have been expected to be married. When the Duke returned to France in 1514, Jane remained at the English court and, some rumours suggested, may have begun a brief affair with Henry VIII. However, she seems to have wanted to return home. It has also been speculated that she was no longer welcome at the English court. She was listed as an attendant to Henry's sister, Princess Mary, who was about to become the queen of France. Louis XII refused to accept Jane as an attendant for his new wife, however, apparently on the grounds of believing Jane was promiscuous.

Jane remained in England until 1516, when she returned to France. She is said to have reignited her affair with the Duke and received a parting gift of £100 from Henry.

Elizabeth Carew (née Bryan; c. 1500 – 1546) was an English courtier and reputed mistress of King Henry VIII.

A daughter of Sir Thomas Bryan and Margaret Bourchier, Elizabeth became the wife of Henry VIII's close friend Sir Nicholas Carew, an influential statesman who was eventually executed for his alleged involvement in the Exeter Conspiracy. She is described as being beautiful by many historians.

Her brother, Sir Francis, a member of the Privy Chamber and one of the king's closest friends, sat on the jury that convicted his sister's husband, who was sentenced to death, and thus reduced her to penury.

Anne Basset (1520 – before 1558) was an English lady-in-waiting of the Tudor period, reputed to have been the mistress of King Henry VIII.

Mary Boleyn (c. 1499 – 19 or 30 July 1543), also known as Lady Mary, was the sister of English queen consort Anne Boleyn, whose family enjoyed considerable influence during the reign of King Henry VIII.

Mary was one of the mistresses of Henry VIII for an unknown period. It has been rumoured that she bore two of the King's children, though Henry did not acknowledge either. Mary was also rumoured to have been a mistress of Henry VIII's rival, King Francis I of France, for some period between 1515 and 1519.

Mary Boleyn was married twice: in 1520 to William Carey, and again, secretly, in 1534, to William Stafford, a soldier from a good family but with few prospects. This secret marriage to a man considered beneath her station angered King Henry VIII and her sister, Queen Anne, and resulted in Mary's banishment from the royal court. She died seven years later, having spent the remainder of her life in obscurity.

Элизабет Блаунт (англ. Elizabeth Blount; ок. 1498/1500 — 1539/1541; более известная как Бесси Блаунт) — фрейлина при дворе короля Англии Генриха VIII Тюдора, его любовница и мать единственного официально признанного им незаконнорождённого сына.
