(HENRY VIII)
<b>906. (HENRY VIII) </b>(1491 - 1547) King of England whose troops defeated and killed James IV of Scotland, in disputes with Pope Leo X for his failure to permit a divorce from Catherine, founded a national church separate from the Roman Catholics, married seven times and beheaded two of his wives for adultery, executed Thomas More for his failure to recognize Henry's royal supremacy. A scarce document from his reign, 1p. folio, [n.p.], June 13, 1544, a exemplification of litigation between Charles Yarburgh, plaintiff, and Arthur Kay, deforciant, both prominent land owners in Yorkshire, concerning the land in Slaitwaite, Yorkshire. Apparently an important case which continued for many years. With a very large, pendant wax seal, largely intact. The usual folds and wear, overall very good.<b> $200-300</b>
