King Henry VIII Ordered A Bible for Every Church
 |
It was commissioned by Thomas Cromwell and prepared by Myles Coverdale and ultimately became compulsory for all English churches to own a copy of this Cromwell injunction scripture.
Thusly on May 6 1541 King Henry VIII ordered a bible in English be placed in every church in England.
My personal Bible is the King James Authorized version of 1611 and I read the Goodspeed Apocrypha the scripture of which was originally included within it's pages.
I have never been a fan of King Henry VIII because I believe him to be a murderer and without redeeming virtue or merit of character.
I attibute his character flaws to his jousting accident which left him wounded for life and from which he never recovered.
