He wanted people to remember his father well instead of the paranoid schitzo he had been in the end. He also finds scapegoats to find in the old henry"s stead. He used them to make the king look not so bad it was their fault, not his this was a popular step to take. He said some of these men were guilty of treason since their advice had led to some people being guilty of treasonous activity. Dudley and epson were led to their execution. The point is when henry wants something, he gets it. Henry also has the advantage of appearance on his side. He is 17 and the very picture of the handsome renaissance prince.
