In 1587 Mary Queen of Scots (the Second cousin of Queen Elizabeth) was executed at Fotheringay Castle. Mary went to England as she was being attacked by the scottish as they believed that she killed Lord Darnley. So she went to see Elizabeth her second cousin for help. She didn't know what to do with her so she locked her up in a castle so that she could think. It took her 18 long years to dedcide that she would execute her.

In the 1540's America was just getting its start. Not much was on the east coast and not to many people have made a name for them self yet. England was the worlds power. Things were very bleak. Farms were very common and were the best way to make money. Slaves and endured servants were a common place and were not thought of as wrong. People were looking for an all water route to Asia so they could increase trade. There is a lot of medieval background to this time. Spain and Portugal were the common languages. America was referred to as the 'new world' and Europe was referred to the old world. The 1540's nothing impacted history they way are time does today. Everyone lived a simple life. Nothing past the Mississippi was explored.

Which was the last abbey to be closed under Henry VIII?

Although most text books and reference books state that the dissolution of the monasteries (ie. abbeys, priories, friaries, etc.) happened between 1536 and 1539, a number of monasteries survived into 1540. These include (with date of dissolution in brackets): Egglestone Abbey (5 January 1540); Shap Abbey (12-14 January 1540); Westminster Abbey (16 January 1540); Worcester Priory (18 January 1540); Shewsbury Priory (24 January 1540); Wenlock Priory (26 January 1540); Bolton Priory (29 January 1540); Ampleforth Abbey (29 January 1540); Gloucester Abbey (January 1540); Thetford Priory (16 February 1540); Waltham Abbey (23 March 1540); Gisborough Priory (8 April 1540). Therefore, the last abbey to be closed under Henry VIII was Waltham Abbey, and the last religious house to be closed (although there may be an obscure one I have missed!) was probably Gisborough Priory. One abbey, St Benet's Abbey in Norfolk, survived dissolution altogether, as the abbot had been appointed Bishop of Norwich, so the abbey was transferred to the see of Norwich (though most of it was still demolished).
