Martin Luther, in 1517, wrote 95 demands against the Catholic Church. He especially didn’t like the fact that people from Rome were travelling around Europe selling “indulgences”. These were certificates that were sold to people that effectively wiped away any bad behaviour they’d been taking part in – and “guaranteed” their passport to Heaven.

For this cover lesson I want you to imagine you are from Rome and design me a poster that would be put up in a village to advertise your services for sale – namely that of an indulgence. Try to make it as colourful as possible – and as historically accurate!

You must include:

•what it will cover (what crimes)

•how much it costs

•what it looks like

•who has signed it

•the fact it comes from Rome

•Where the money will go to

•why people should buy it

Martin Luther

These are the answers…..so what are the questions????

For example if the answer is ….. HENRY VIII, the question could be “Which English King fell in love with Anne Boleyn?”

Source A – extract from a modern History bookMonks and Nuns were supposed to live like Jesus’ disciples. They should:• give all their possessions away and live in poverty• wear a basic robe and eat simple food• stay celibate• look after the poor, sick and travellers• behave in a Christian manner• worship and pray several times a day• copy passages from the bible

Source B – an extract from the report on Crossed Friars monastery in LondonFound the Prior at that time in bed with a woman, both naked, about 11 o’clock in the morning.

Source C – from a letter dated 1535 from Richard Beereley (a monk) to Thomas CromwellI will tell you...how little notice is taken of King Henry’s command that any mention of the Pope should be crossed out. The monks drink and play bowls after breakfast till ten o’clock. They come to morning service drunk. They do nothing for the love of God.

Source D – an extract from the report on St Edmund’s abbeyThe abbot delighted much at playing dice and spent a lot of money on it. Women frequently came into this monastery.

Source E – extract from the report on St Edmund’s conventI could not find anything bad about the convent, no matter how hard I tried. I believe this was because everyone had gathered together...to keep the convent’s secrets.

Source F – adapted from A History of Britain, by Simon Schama, published in 2000Priories were offered at bargain prices, and loyalty to Henry as Head of the English Church was gained through bricks and mortar. And by filling the crown’s coffers with the proceeds, [it] gave Henry the means to stand up to the Catholic powers.

Source G – extract from a modern History bookBecause closing down the monasteries would be unpopular Henry and Thomas Cromwell needed a good excuse to close them down. So Cromwell sent Inspectors round the country. He chose inspectors who were not loyal Catholics.

Source H – extract from a modern History bookMany people rebelled against the closure of the Monasteries. Henry agreed to talk to the rebel leaders – but then arrested them!

History Department

W.I.LF:-

Pupils on level 4 (a,b,c) you must :- include at least two historical facts from the source

W.I.LF:-

Pupils on level 5(b,c) you must :- you must try to explain how important the behaviour of Monks was in making Henry close them down, or whether he just wanted the cash! (Significance)

4.Imagine you are time traveller with the power to use email to record your findings. Send an email back to someone in 2007.

Hints ‘n’ Tips - WILF• Imagine you were there• Check the facts – make it historically accurate!• Try to make it humorous, include details of people

who may be at Queensbridge Friars but don’t be rude or inappropriate

• Try to put a ‘sting’ or a ‘twist’ or surprise in the piece of writing – perhaps something shocking happened whilst you were there?

review

H/W for Monday Which one of the three statements below do you think best sums up why Henry VIII wanted the Monasteries closed? Choose 3 by placing a tick next to them.

• Henry VIII was very greedy and needed more money for his extravagant lifestyle

• Henry VIII needed lots of money in case he was attacked by the Catholic countries of Europe

• Henry VIII needed to make sure the nobles of England supported him. The best way to do this was to give them land and money.

• Many Monks still obeyed the Pope’s commands rather than Henry’s and the King thought this was dangerous

• Many Monks were not following the ideas on which their monasteries had been found. They were not living holy lives.

Once you have chosen your three. Is one more important than the other two. Explain your answer in your blue books.
