2. The website I chose to visit has a variety of different topics that it covers for example its news, weather, sports and history sections. The specific section that I began at was a section describing the life and achievements of Martin Luther. This short article points out key points on the life of Martin Luther. The information in organized in chronological order from Luther’s birth to death and the format is easy to follow and understand. Luther is under a subsection of “Historical figures” however, other subsections include Family History, British History, Ancient History and Hands on History, allowing anyone seeking information to easily be able to find their desired topic. Additionally an image of Martin Luther is included in this piece written about Luther to help visualize what he looked like. In total, this website is organized and provides basic information on Martin Luther.

Also on this page is an image of Anne Boleyn.

In total, both of the other links I followed were organized neatly and easy to interpret.

I was aware of Anne’s betrothal to King Henry, however I assumed that due to her role as simply his mistress at one point, she did not come from a well established family, however according to the article, her father, Sir Thomas Boleyn, was a member of the Royal Court, before Henry became king and very established. He married the very well connected Lady Elizabeth Howard and their family was all together accomplished.
