Jesus of Lübeck was a carrack built in the Free City of Lübeck in the early 16th century.
 Around 1540 the ship, which had mostly been used for representative purposes, was acquired by Henry VIII, King of England, to augment his fleet.
 The ship saw action during the French invasion of the Isle of Wight in 1545.
 She along with the "Samson" were used in an unsuccessful attempt to raise Henry VIII’s flagship, the Mary Rose, after she foundered during the Battle of the Solent.
 She was latter chartered to a group of merchants in 1563 by Queen Elizabeth.
 "Jesus of Lübeck" became involved in the Atlantic slave trade under John Hawkins, who organized four voyages to West Africa and the West Indies between 1562 and 1568.
 During the last voyage, "Jesus", along with several other English ships, encountered a Spanish fleet off San Juan de Ulúa (modern day Vera Cruz, Mexico) in September 1568.
 In the resulting battle, "Jesus" was captured by Spanish forces.
 The heavily damaged ship was later sold for 601 ducats to a local merchant.
Catherine Brandon, Duchess of Suffolk, "suo jure" 12th Baroness Willoughby de Eresby (22 March 1519 – 19 September 1580), was an English noblewoman living at the courts of King Henry VIII, King Edward VI and Queen Elizabeth I.
 She was the fourth wife of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, who acted as her legal guardian during his third marriage to Henry VIII's sister Mary.
 Her second husband was Richard Bertie, a member of her household.
 Following Charles Brandon's death in 1545, it was rumoured that King Henry had considered marrying Catherine as his seventh wife, while he was still married to his sixth wife, Catherine Parr, who was Catherine's close friend.
The Dissolution of the Monasteries, sometimes referred to as the Suppression of the Monasteries, was the set of administrative and legal processes between 1536 and 1541 by which Henry VIII disbanded monasteries, priories, convents and friaries in England, Wales and Ireland, appropriated their income, disposed of their assets, and provided for their former personnel and functions.
 Although the policy was originally envisaged as increasing the regular income of the Crown, much former monastic property was sold off to fund Henry's military campaigns in the 1540s.
 He was given the authority to do this in England and Wales by the Act of Supremacy, passed by Parliament in 1534, which made him "Supreme Head" of the Church in England, thus separating England from Papal authority, and by the First Suppression Act (1536) and the Second Suppression Act (1539).
Elisabeth Brooke (25 June 1526 – 2 April 1565) was the eldest daughter of George Brooke, 9th Baron Cobham of Kent and Anne, his wife.
 She was the niece of Sir Thomas Wyatt the elder, the courtier-poet credited with bringing the sonnet form into the English language, and Elizabeth Brooke who was associated with Henry VIII of England.
 Elisabeth openly lived in adultery with William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton and bigamously married him.
 At times, she was accepted at court as the Marchioness of Northampton.
 She was the sister-in-law of Catherine Parr, King Henry VIII's sixth queen.
 Her first cousin, Thomas Wyatt the Younger, was the leader of a rebellion against Queen Mary I known as Wyatt's Rebellion.
 The whole family was implicated.
 She became one of the most influential courtiers again during the reign of Elizabeth I.
Sir Richard Lee (1513–1575) was a military engineer in the service of Henry VIII of England, Edward VI and Elizabeth I.
 He was a commander of Henry VIII and appointed surveyor of the King's works.
 Lee was member of parliament for Hertfordshire in 1545.
Grimston Manor was a manor house in Norfolk, England.
 In 1524, it was given to George Boleyn, the first grant King Henry VIII made to Boleyn.
 It is assumed that this was given on the wedding of George to Jane Parker.
 Henry VIII was around this time involved in a relationship with George's sister, Mary, and within two years would be pursuing George's other sister, Anne, who became Henry VIII's second wife.
Richard Brooke (died 1569) bought the manor of Norton, near Runcorn, Cheshire from Henry VIII in 1545 following the dissolution of the monasteries.
 The manor included the former monastery of Norton Priory and also the settlements of Norton, Stockham, Acton Grange and Aston Grange in Cheshire and Cuerdley in Lancashire.
Southsea Castle, historically also known as Chaderton Castle, South Castle and Portsea Castle, is an artillery fort originally constructed by Henry VIII on Portsea Island, Hampshire, in 1544.
 It formed part of the King's Device programme to protect against invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire, and defended the Solent and the eastern approach to Portsmouth.
 The castle had a square central keep, two rectangular gun platforms to the east and west, and two angled bastions to the front and rear, and was an early English example of the "trace italienne"-style of fortification popular on the Continent.
 The Cowdray engraving of the Battle of the Solent in 1545 depicted Henry VIII visiting the castle.
 Despite several serious fires, it remained in service and saw brief action at the start of the English Civil War in 1642 when it was stormed by Parliamentary forces.
The Cistercians are a Roman Catholic religious order of enclosed monks, whose monasteries and abbeys have been built from 1098.
 The first Cistercian abbey was Cîteaux Abbey.
 Their monasteries spread throughout Europe during the Middle Ages, but many were closed during the Protestant Reformation, the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII, the French Revolution, and the revolutions of the 18th century.
 Some survived and new monasteries have been founded since the 19th century.
