A season of ponders...

Lately I have pondered many a thing -
Such as Some Ideas Coming through the Show time Series Called The Tudors -which is about King Henry the eighth -and his famous 6 wives.->

 Katherine of Aragon who died Dowager Queen of Wales{Who's Daughter Mary -'Bloody Mary' was the only living child of this marriage}

Followed by Anne Boleyn  who by her father brother and uncle Pushed into being Henry's 2nd wife who was Unjustly convicted of Adultery and incest with her brother (Although for all these convictions very shaky evidence was brought and through modern courts even cant convict her) she was beheaded when Elizabeth I was 2.6 years old. 13 days

Later Jane Seymour was crowned queen who gave Henry his sole son of his reign Edward III she died shortly after giving birth to her son.

After that came Anne of Cleves who would strengthen England being now Sundered from Rome and Catholicism to a protestant diplomatic tie seing France Rome and Spain were against them unofficially


Followed by Katherine Howard who was 17 ish years when she married Henry he being roughly 40 at the time maybe almost 50 years old -She was convicted of adultery and solidly convicted of being in a adulterous relationship with Thomas Culpepper and Dereham she was beheaded .

Lastly Catherine Parr (as well as Jane Seymour had tried to re commit Mary I and Elizabeth I to Henry)
in Catherine's reign she uneasily  helped the two to be re united sometimes Mary/Elizabeth would act as regent or such during his Absences over the next few years , She Survived being very much open about disagreeing with Henry about certain issues but was very much to be with Henry rather than against him
Henry died at 55 years being Grossly over weight

Also When Henry "Dissoloution of the monastries"
There was a rebellion in York -Which Charles Brandon 1st Duke of Suffolk had to deal with,
Whilst his son (On the show was a hostage and Margaret king Henry VIII s Sister his wife asks him
"What if it Was YOUR OWN CHILDREN"??? and he tells her he would still have to do it.

which I related to God and the crucifixion which is a lot of bogging to get here but it A) was for my own memory of What happened and Who Happened and (B) To tell the Pondering of the last fortnight,
Which is heavy stuff -and he does Hang 216 people in the show it seems like a lot more.

Also I am going Through Hebrews Which is an amazing book - 
Jesus is So High and Amazing that we should listen to him . He is above even Abraham so We should listen to him -For he is our atoning High priest DYK that From my current knowledge only one other Jewish King was a high priest For he is the only way into our rest so we should grow in maturity in him -allowing him  to take rest in the Kingdom after here. (if your keen this is the summary of chapters 1-5 ish maybe 6 included.
