MARTIN LUTHER


Hello, my name is Martin Lutero, I was born in 1483 in Germany. I was the most important representative of the protestantism because I was created them. I separated from the Catholic Church because he committed many abuses, such as the sale of offices of the church. I was helped by nobles of Germany and thanks to this the protestantism became very important in Europe. My doctrine only approved in the north European. My protest against catholic church started when I created the 95 theses against the catholic doctrine and the ecclesiastical hierarchy. In these I denied the value of indulgences and the power of the church to grant them.

In 1512 I went doctorate doctorate in theology. The year 1525 I married Katharina von Bora, who had been a nun. He died in 1946.

CARLOS V


I’m the son of Juana the Mad and Philip the Fair. I was born on the 24th of February in 1500 in Ghent and I was educated in the Nederlands.

In 1515 I assumed the power of the states of the House of Burgundy after the death of my paternal grand-mother, Mary of Burgundy. In 1516 after the death of my maternal grand-father Ferdinand, inherited states of the Hasburg heritage.

In 1517 I came to visit mother after twelve years without seeing her and hardly speak Castilian. I had a little conflict with my brother Ferdinand of Aragon to know who would  keep the crown of Castile.

When I came to Spain I had to name Castilian nobles and castilian appoint the most important positions in the kingdom instead of the german princes.

I had military conflicts with Francis I, between 1521 and 1544. At this time I married Isabel of Portugal, my cousin. And my wife died in 1539.

HENRY VIII


My name is Henry, Henry VIII of England. I was born the in June, 28 of 1491 in the Greenwich Palace in Greenwich. My precessor was Henry II, he was my dad and I was his third child. My coronation was in June, 24 of 1509 and I reigned for 39 years. Two days after my coronation I arrested my two father´s most unpopular ministers. This was my primary tactic to deal with those who stood on my way. In 1513 I invaded France at the battle of Spurs. Thomas Wosley was a cardinal, an also, my chancellor. He practically controlled the domestic issues. He disappointed me when he failed to secure my quick divorce from Queen Catherine. Wosley was replaced and died in prission after he was arrested on false charges of treason. I never formally repudiated the doctrines of the Catholic Church, but I declared myself supreme head of the church in England in 1534; it resulted a separated church, the Church of England. My reformation involved more complex motives than my desire for a new wife and a heir. I also asserted that my marriage wasn´t valid and I made radical changes on religious practices. Contrary to popular belief, I didn´t have had many affairs outside marriage. Apart of women I after married, I had two undisputed affairs: Elizabeth Blount and Mary Bolein. On January Queen Catherine died and  on May, 2 of 1536 I arrested my wife, Anne, I accused her of adultery, incest and high treason. And at 8am of May, 19 of 1536 she, her father and her brother were executed. 10 days later I married Jane Seymour, who was the only wife that gave me a child, Prince Edward. His birth was complicated and Queen Jane died of an infection. Before his birth I declare illegitimate my two daughters, Lady Mary and Lady Elizabeth.

On July, 28 of 1540, I married Catherine Howard to ensure my succession. But Queen Catherine had an affair and I ordered her execution. After this, I married my last wife, Catherine Parr, in 1543. At the end of my life I suffered from obesity, and that hastened my death, which occurred on January, 28 of 1547. After a decade all three of my royal heirs sat on the English Throne, but any of them left descendant.
