Many people argue that Henry VIII was the most dominant figure in government from 1509-47, but many would also argue that he was not. This essay will discuss both sides of the argument, discussing in depth the reasons he was and the reasons he wasn't.
From a young age, Henry proved that he was indeed the most dominant figure in government. At only 19, Henry had total control over his country, his government, and the people in it. A perfect example of this would be Henry's decision to go to war with France, twice. Henry VIII had inherited his fathers councilors and advisers in 1509, amongst whom was Bishop Foxe.
