A Partridge in a Pear Tree

Once upon a time, long, long time ago, around the 1560s, there was a man of royalty, who went by the name of King Henry VIII. As a king, as a royal, the objective is to marry to continue the monarchy, the family name. This continuation was only possible through a male heir, a boy. So, as a young adult, King Henry VII married and hopeful he would get a male heir. He got three! Sadly, they all died in childbirth, or shortly thereafter. King Henry VIII grew frustrated when he got none. The weight of the monarchy laid on his head. He decided it was time to find another prospect. But alas! He was not allowed to have another prospect. The Vatican, Rome, the place that oversees rule and order, said he could not!
