Henry VIII's Divorce and the 1527 Sack of Rome - Part 3

In this, the final of 3 episodes, recorded live, we are discussing the factors going on in Rome which effected Henry VIII's ultimately failed attempt to secure a divorce from his first wife Katherine of Aragon.

Last time we covered the sack of Rome in 1527 and, in episode 1, the build up to it. We learned how the breakdown in relations between Francois I of France, Charles V Holy Roman Emperor, Charles duke of Burgundy and Pope Clement VII led to this indescribably horrific humanitarian disaster.
