NOTES: Although Henry altered the church, he did not wish to introduce Protestant doctrine. Those who refused to accept Church of England teachings as well as those who rejected Henry's authority over the church were executed. In terms of the monarchy, he intensified the authoritarian elements characteristic of the Tudor dynasty to which he belonged. The great strength of government developed by Henry was used powerfully in the reign of his daughter, Elizabeth I. Henry's embalmed body in its massive coffin was conveyed to Windsor and buried beside that of Jane Seymour. He had made plans for a magnificent tomb to be erected for them both, but they were never carried out. There is an unsubstantiated story that Mary I had her father's body disinterred and burnt.
