History - Briefly

History is a ‘Like’ of mine.  Those of you on Facebook know what that means.  A good dose of HISTORY comes my way everyday on my Facebook Page.

Today is the anniversary of the death of England’s King Henry VIII.   It happened in 1547.  My how time flies!

I shudder thinking of Henry VIII.   Married six times; two marriages ended when he had those once loved ladies beheaded.

Anne Boleyn, I knew about, for sure.  Today’s whetted interest in the gruesome King’s life embellished my knowledge.  Now I know his other decapitated wife was Catherine Howard.

Reminded of both of these historical facts and much more, my thinking – “So much for the ‘good ole days!”
