August 11 - Henry VIII treats friars abominably

On this day in Tudor history, 11th August 1534, or shortly before, the friars observant were expelled from their religious houses due to their support of Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII’s first wife, and their refusal to accept the king as supreme head of the Church in England.

 

These men were treated abominably by Henry VIII and his government and you can find out about their treatment and their fates in today's talk from Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History".
