Paolo Giovio's Regionum et insularum atque locorum descriptiones (1578). Pp. 76-77

The divorce of Henry VIII from Catherine of Aragon swerved the course of the Anglo-Spanish dynastic alliances. In this work, the papal historian Paolo Giovio, a contemporary, recounts the geography and history of England down to the Anglican schism. Here is a relation of the political events surrounding the break-up with Rome: from Catherine's marriage to Arthur (1501) to the dissolution of her marriage to Henry (1533), going through the birth of Mary (1516).
