Henry's advisers who had helped Thomas dispatch Anne hoped the religion would go back to Catholicism, but no. Henry had his armies loot every church and monastery in England. All rebel leaders were murdered. His marriages were not successful, but he did get his heir in Edward VI, the son of Jane Seymour, and Anne had given him a daughter Elizabeth 1. He made England stronger and independent and had the best navy in the world.
