3. His third wife: Jane Seymour
They got married in 1536 11 days after Anne's dead. She was quiet and kind absolutely opposite of the second wife. They had only one child: Edward (later Eward VI.) the fisrt son of Henry! Sarcasticly Jane dead 12 days after her sons born. She is lying beside Henry in Windsor.







4. His fourth wife: Anne of Cleves
She had been choosen by a photograph without knew eachother with Henry. She didn't like her husband and he didn't like her so it wasn't a big surprise that the marrige support only 6 months. After all she wasn't so beautiful as the 3 wifes before so they didn't sleep together.

6. His sixth wife: Catherine Parr
She had 3 husbands before Henry. She got her name after the fisrt wife: Catherine of Aragon -it'a a bit funny I think- She was serious and mature. She had a relationship with Thomas Seymour (Jane Seymour's brother), but she had to choose Henry... After the king's dead she got married with Thomas.

Royal society for protecting the birds

Royal Society For Protecting The Birds

What is the RSPB?

The RSPB speaks out for birds saveing. That is the largest wildlife conservation organisation in Europe with over one million members. Their work is focussed on the species and habitats that are in the greatest danger. They have one vision - to work for a better environment rich in birds and wildlife. 


What are they doing?


  • They work with decision makers on behalf of birds and the environment.
  • They tackle wildlife crime and habitat loss.
  • They work with landowners and farmers to help countryside birds.
  • They champion birds and the environment to decision makers.

  • So they're taking steps to save the wildlife.  

    The RSPB works for the conservation of biodiversity, especially wild birds and their habitats. This is a huge task, and one that we take very seriously. However, birds and wildlife are even bigger topics, so it is worth explaining why the RSPB takes a neutral stance in certain areas.
