Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England from 1509
until his death in 1547. Henry is best known for his six marriages, and, in
particular, his efforts to have his first marriage (to Catherine of Aragon)
annulled. His disagreement with Pope Clement VII led Henry to initiate
the English Reformation, separating the Church of England from papal

Henry VIII of England authority. Henry is also known as "the father of the Royal Navy".

James V (10 April 1512 – 14 December 1542) was King of Scotland from 9

Scots, succeeded him. James was the third son of King James IV of
Scotland and his wife Margaret Tudor, a daughter of Henry VII of England and
sister of Henry VIII, and was the only legitimate child of James IV to survive
King James V Stewart infancy.

Mary I (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558), also known as Mary Tudor,
was the queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death. She is
best known for her vigorous attempt to reverse the English Reformation,
which had begun during the reign of her father, Henry VIII. Her attempt to
restore to the Church the property confiscated in the previous two reigns
was largely thwarted by parliament, but during her five-year reign, Mary had
over 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake, which led to her
Mary I denunciation as "Bloody Mary" by her Protestant opponents.
