2. Why did Henry VIII marry so many women ?
Henry VII first married Catherine of Aragon, but they get divorced because he fall in love with another lady, Anne Boleyn who was executed in the Tower of London because she couldn't give Henry a male son. Then he married Jane Saymour. Unfortunately, she died just two weeks after her son was born. So Henry decided to get married again. Anne of Cleves was the next, but they got divorced the same year they got married. Sixteen days after he was free of Anne, Henry took his fifth wife, Kathryn Howard. She was executed, accused of infidelity. Finally, he married Katherin Parr, who ended windowing from Henry VII.

After reading the website below, fill in the gaps in the following text about Tudor London .
http://www.britainexpress.com/London/tudor-london.htm

Tudor London can be described as a _prosperous_ city during the Tudor dynasty. In fact, the population increased from _75 000_ inhabitants with Henry VII to _200 000_ at the end of the 16th century.
The Tudor monarchs had a royal residence in London called _Whitehall Palace_ and another in the countryside,called _Hampton Court_, after _Cardinal Wolsey_ gave it to Henry VIII.These Tudor kings and queens used what are now famous parks , such as _Richmond Park_ or _Hyde Park_, as Royal hunting forests.
Not many Tudor buildings survive today, mostly because of _the Great Fire_ , which happened in _1666_. Besides, , the 13 religious houses in London were _either converted for private use or pulled down for building materials_ after the Dissolution of the monasteries, which was _a measure of Henry VIII to control the church's power, because he felt they had too much _.
Apart from that, the theatres were banned from the city by _the city authorities_ because _they thought they wasted workmen's time_. Then, they were built in _Southwark_, where now a reconstruction of the _Globe Theatre__ can be visited to learn about Tudor theatre.
At that time, London's financial rival was the city of _Amsterdam_, and to be able to compete with it , the _Royal Exchange_ was created in 1560.
So, all in all, and because of many other events and facts, we can say that both London and England were _powerful_.
