The constitutional historian Professor David Starkey has compared the invocation of Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty on 29 March with King Henry VIII's break with Rome in the 1530s. As Professor Starkey describes in his numerous books, that event had momentous historical consequences for Britain. Politics in those days moved more slowly – and were much more violent – but it pays informed investors to examine the parallels with today.
The reverberations from Henry's divorce from Queen Catherine of Aragon and its aftermath played out throughout the reigns of his three children – Edward VI (1547-53), Mary I (1553-58) and Elizabeth I (1558-1603). It was only during the reign of a king of a different dynasty – the Stuart James VI of Scotland (James I of Great Britain) that relations with Europe were in any way "normalised".
