I. A. Put the following paragraphs in the correct order, filling in the

grid under the text: 10 points

a) James himself was killed in the battle. One thing was wrong with
Henry and Catherines marriage. Time was passing and they did not
have a son. All their babies, except their daughter, Mary, died a few
weeks after they were born.
b) In the year 1509 Henry VIII became king of England. He was the son
of Henry VII, a king who was clever with people and careful with
money. Unlike his father, Henry VIII maintained a magnificent court
and spent a lot of money on wars, from which England had little to
gain.
c) But the Pope did not agree to Henrys divorce and this made him very
angry. The king decided to make himself head of the Church of
England and as soon as this happened he was free to divorce
Catherine.
d) Two weeks before he was crowned, Henry married Catherine of
Aragon. They were happy together at first. She was a good wife and
she was brave too. In 1513 while Henry was fighting a battle in
France, James IV, the Scottish king attacked England. Catherine got
an army together and the Scots were defeated.
e) Henry wanted to divorce Catherine and marry somebody else
because he longed for a son, an heir to the throne of England. As
England was a Catholic country, he needed the consent of the Pope
in Rome.
