So what “nationality” was the lawyer whom Henry VIII consulted about getting a divorce? You can be forgiven if you thought “The lawyer would have to be British of some sort, probably English, maybe Scottish, or even Irish?” You would be wrong with ALL of those “options”.
King Henry VIII’s “divorce lawyer” was a Venetian, a product of Venice. Think Marco Polo. Think “Silk Road Trade” between Asia and Europe. Think “Ancient Phoenecia” and the dominance of world maritime trade. Then think “City of London”, the world’s financial capital to this day.
Then think Henry’s daughter, Elizabeth I, and her agent, and “spy”, the first “007” himself, John Dee.
John Dee was the main who first used the term, The British Empire.
Henry’s divorce(s) were the excuse for the separation of the Church of England from the Vatican. In other word’s, Henry’s divorce(s) were the triggers for the Reformation in Britain. The result was that most of Britain became Protestant. It still is. The Reformation was NOT about the many faults in Catholicism. It was about Venice’s need for a “distraction” while it moved its trade and shipping bases of operation to Atlantic sea ports. London and Amsterdam were the two major “capitals” in the new Venetian trade empire. Both Holland and Britain became Protestant as part of the “process”. The “William’nMary” takeover, the so called “Glorious Revolution” was one of the final acts in the financial takeover. The Bank of England was set up once William was installed on the throne.
Think “666 Beast” and the “pompous arrogant little horn” that suppressed three kings – England, Scotland and Ireland.
