William Langland

He was an English poet and writer.

He was born in 1332 probably in Ledbury in Herefordshire, near the Welsh border.

He died in 1386, age 53.

He later moved to London and made his living as a poor cleric.

His most important work is Peirce Plowman.

Peirce Plowman

Peirce Plowman gives a dark picture of Middle English society and becomes a kind of paragon of Reformist thinking.

The work is a composition of many dreams, each on a different theme, and in sum they become the image of humanity in the midst of the struggle between Truth and Evil.

He died in 1400.

He was an English poet, writer, linguist, philosopher and politician.

Henry, a member of the Tudor family was born in 1491 in Greenwich. Seven years after his father died, Henry VIII was crowned king. He ruled England for 36 years. He died in 1547.

He may not have been the best king of all time, but he sure was an interesting man.

Henry had six wives:

·   Catherine of Aragon - divorce

·    Anne Boleyn - executed

·    Jane Seymour - died

·    Anne of Cleves - divorce

·    Catherine Howard - executed

·    Catherine Parr – died

The Pope did not really like the divorce and cut off contact with Henry. Henry was expelled from the Catholic Church and became the leader of a new type of religion called the Anglican Church. They were Protestants - different from the Catholic Church.

Henry died on 28 January 1547 and was succeeded by his son, Edward VI.
