In addition to the political quarrels, William Shakespeare has depicted several comparisons between characters and settings to mirror situations in Henry IV. King Henry has juxtaposed Hal and Hotspur, Hal enjoys diversions and humour whereas Hotspur is exhibited in a serious manner. Contrasted again, Hotspur is the epitome of honour contracting to Falstaff who believes honour is nothing.…

King Henry VIII’s decided to depart from the Roman Catholic Church so that he could marry Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth’s mother (Clunie). This action allowed the King to marry Anne Boleyn after his previous marriage concluded in a divorce because his former wife, Catherine of Aragon gave birth to a daughter, Mary, rather than the desired male heir (Clunie).

He was correct in introducing the Magna Carta which clearly helped the future a lot, and he also strengthened monarchy an insufficient but needed amount. He had also kept good records during his time. In my opinion, he could have been a better king by altering his decisions to suit all his people, also not using all his money then increasing all taxes because then people will lose money and may not be able to handle living with little money. Any ruler’s actions will anger some people no matter what, as everyone has different…
