The printing press changed the spread of ideas, they could travel faster and easier. Before the printing press existed, there were only 30,000 books. The reason for that is because books were written by hand, they had someone usually a pope, write and copy books. Since people hand-wrote the books, they were expensive and very time consuming. They had to copy every letter and every word. The books were a lot of times also filled with errors, because mistakes were very easy to make. After the printing press was invented, so many new doors opened up. There were then 12 million books in the library. It was easier to make a lot of one book also because they were easily mass produced with the new machine. More people could afford these books, and they were less expensive for people to buy them and make them. Last, the books were so much faster to make.
Hello, I am Henry the 8th. I have had many wives, and I used to be catholic, but now I am protestant. Once in my life, I really wanted a son, I only had one daughter named Mary Tudor. I thought we should have a male heir for the throne. My wife didn't want to have a son, so I asked the pope to divorce us, but the priest would not let me. That's when I decided I did not want to be catholic anymore, so I took over the English Church, and I married Anne Boleyn, and we had another daughter. Since I did not have a son with her, I married four other women, I only ended up having one son, named Edward.
