How far do these sources suggest that young Henry

How far do these sources suggest that young Henry VIII was an impressive figure as a king? In the 16th century an impressive figure of a king would mean that he demonstrated power both physically and economically and a good education. However as source two suggests, Henry might be considered less than impressive as he shows insecurities. A stronger argument though is that Henry did demonstrate the features of an impressive king as he had all the attributes listed above which is clear from all three sources.
It might be inferred that Henry was less than impressive as he was clearly insecure. Source two shows Henry seeking to compare favourability with his rival king Francis I of France. He persistently asks the Venetian ambassador whether he is more physically impressive than Francis e. g. Henry asks What sort of legs has he got? Such insecurity might encourage challenges as Henry could be seen as unconfident about his own authority. This argument could gain weight from the fact that the ambassador would be seeking to provide accurate information to the government of Venice.
It could however be seen as the only one incident by a king who had only been on the throne for six years. Also it is not sustained in the other two sources. The strongest argument suggests that Henry VIII was an impressive figure as king. From source two it might be inferred that Henry is very well educated as it shows Henry addressing the Venetian ambassador in French, “His majesty addressing me in French”. During his time on the throne only rich, well educated people could speak more than their native language.

His good education also shows that he has an attribute of an impressive fgure of king. The strongest argument which suggests that Henry was an impressive king gains weight from the Venetian ambassador being a eliable source. Source two is a written article so it is more likely to be reliable than a painting. The Venetian ambassador is also likely to be speaking the truth as he wants to tell the Venetian government accurate information and has no reason to lie. Source one also lends weight to the strongest argument that Henry VIII was an impressive fgure as a king.
Source one implies that Henry is a very rich and powerful king as it shows us spending time practicing his archery with his guards. “The king was practicing archery in the garden with the archers of the guard. ” It could be nferred from this that Henry has free recreational time as he is already in control of everything else. The argument that he is an impressive king gains weight from this because he has power over everyone, and that he gets people to do the Jobs he would normally have to do.
This can be inferred from source one as Henry spends his time in the garden “practicing archery with the archers of the guards. ” This suggests that Henry has appointed other people to do the Jobs he would have to do whilst he is in the garden practicing archery. It could also be inferred that he is wealthy because ne would e paying these people to do Jobs tor him. The source is a written document taken from a personal diary of the kings Chaplin, John Taylor in 1513; he was also a royal official. The source is likely to be accurate and reliable as it is a personal diary.
John Taylor would have been recording what he sees and as it is personal, there is no need to lie. Therefore we can infer that source one is a reliable source, this lends weight to the strongest argument that Henry VII was an impressive fgure as king. Henry tried to portray himself as a warrior king during his early reign showing his mpressive fgure as king. Source two implies that Henry was an impressive warrior king because he says “look here and I also have a good calf to my leg”. This shows that he is physically impressive, a characteristic of an impressive warrior king.
We can rely on this source as it was taken directly from the Venetian ambassador’s report to his government. We can also infer from source three that Henry is physically impressive as the portrait shows a large man with broad shoulders. This agrees with source two and therefore supports the strongest argument that Henry was an impressive fgure as king. However this portrait is by an unknown artist therefore it is very unreliable. It is also highly likely that Henry has paid the artist to make him look like an impressive warrior king.
The argument that Henry was an impressive warrior king is also strengthened by source one. We can infer from source one that he had characteristics of a warrior because it tells us of how he was practicing with his guards at archery. Not only was he practicing with them, he also beat them as he hit the mark in the middle. We can rely on this source as it is taken as an extract from a personal diary written by the kings Chaplin. The strongest argument suggests that henry was an impressive figure as king. This can be inferred from all three sources.
Source one implies that Henry is an impressive fgure as king as he is superior to all of his guards as he beats them at archery, hitting “the mark in the middle”. We can also infer from source one that he has power over everyone else. He has enough time to practice archery; this means that he is employing people to do his Jobs he would otherwise have to do. Source two also implies Henry was an impressive figure of a king as it tells us that Henry was physically impressive. l also have a good calf to my leg”.
The argument that Henry was an impressive fgure as king is also supported by source three as Henry VIII’s portrait shows a physically impressive King with broad shoulders. We can also infer from source three that Henry VIII is very wealthy as he is wearing a lot of Jewellery. Source two also implies that Henry was well educated as it shows Henry addressing the Venetian ambassador in French, “His majesty addressing me in French. ” nery was HHhffAll three sources suggest that Henry was an impressive king as he demonstrates power both physically, economically and he has a good education.
