He also counselled that the monasteries should be visited, with a view to their dissolution, in order that new foundations might spring from them, which should be nurseries of learning throughout the realm.On the 2md May, 1536, Anne Boleyn was sent to the Tower, and a few days after the archbishop divorced her, by command of Henry VIII., which he performed by due order and process of but evidently with much reluctance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
