The last sentence under the heading "Mistresses" reads "Biographer Antonia Fraser has claimed that Henry had an affair with Mary Shelton in 1535, in opposition to the traditional belief that Margaret ("Madge") Shelton was Henry's lover." It doesn't make a great deal of sense - ether Ms. Fraser is in agreement with traditional sources or "Madge" is not traditionally believed to be Henry's lover. I'd have fixed it myself, but I don't know what Mary Shelton is traditionally believed to be.

Citation request

A citation is requested for the following claim under Death and Succession: "Concurrently, Henry developed a binge-eating habit, consisting of a diet of mainly fatty red meats and few vegetables."

Also, the next sentence, "It is believed that this habit was used as a coping mechanism for stress"--I don't remember what this sort of sentence is called, but "It is believed..." is not useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spriggig (talk • contribs) 04:31, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

In section Marriages and issue: second box titled 'Henry, Duke of Cornwall-1 January 1511- 22 February 1511- died aged almost three months. This is incorrect. Please change to read: died aged almost two months.

Parallelism

In the following sentence, the verb "establishing" should be replaced with "the establishment of" to avoid the arbitrary switch from ordinary nouns ("separation...," "Dissolution...") in the first two items of the series to a gerund in the third.

Henry's struggles with Rome led to the separation of the Church of England from papal authority, the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and establishing himself as the Supreme Head of the Church of England.
