On This Day In Royal History - 11 June 1509 . King Henry VIII married Katharine of Aragon

Part 2/2: On 28 May 1533, he pronounced the King legally married to Anne Boleyn (with whom Henry had already secretly exchanged wedding vows). This led to England breaking from the Roman Catholic Church & the establishment of the Church of England.

Katharine refused to accept Henry as supreme head of the Church in England & considered herself the king’s rightful wife & queen, attracting much popular sympathy. Despite this, she was acknowledged only as dowager princess of Wales by Henry. After being banished from court by Henry, she lived out the remainder of her life at Kimbolton Castle, & died there on 7 January 1536 of cancer. The English people held Katharine in high esteem, & her death set off tremendous mourning. . Katharine’s pregnancies & children; . A stillborn daughter, born 31 January 1510. Katharine was told she was carrying twins & that the other still lived, so the loss was kept secret as she prepared for the birth. No child came. . Henry, born 1 January 1511 - died 22 February 1511. He died suddenly, with no recorded cause of death. . A son, born c.17 September 1513. Either stillborn or lived for a few hours. . A stillborn son, born November/December 1514. Thomas Wolsey wrote in a letter on 15 November that Katharine was “to lie in shortly.” Two letters in December mention Katharine lost a child. . Mary, born 18 February 1516 - died 17 November 1558.

On This Day In History . 11 June 1727 . King George II accession . . ◼ George I died on 11 June 1727 during one of his visits to Hanover, & George II succeeded him as king & elector of Hanover at the age of 43. . ◼ The new king decided not to travel to Germany for his father's funeral, which far from bringing criticism led to praise from the English who considered it proof of his fondness for England. . ◼  He suppressed his father's will because it attempted to split the Hanoverian succession between George II's future grandsons rather than vest all the domains (both in Britain & Hanover) in a single person. Both British & Hanoverian ministers considered the will unlawful, as George I did not have the legal power to determine the succession personally. Critics supposed that George II hid the will to avoid paying out his father's legacies. . ◼ George II was crowned at Westminster Abbey on 11 October 1727. The composer George Frideric Handel was commissioned to write four new anthems for the coronation, including Zadok the Priest. . ◼  During the War of the Austrian Succession, George participated at the Battle of Dettingen in 1743, & thus became the last British monarch to lead an army in battle. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1727 #d11jun #GeorgeII #KingGeorgeII #History #HouseofHanover #BritishMonarchy #Royalhistory #historyfacts #Royalfamily #Historic #Theking #Hanoverian (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BylcXkRgIZz/?igshid=tl1vdck47mkw
