I have to disagree with you.

Pope Leo bestowed the title Defender of the Faith specifically as a result of Henry VIII writing against Luther - a reward if you like, for defending the faith ?

Whilst one could argue that Luther was the catyalst, he didn't bestow the title, wasn't in a position to bestow anything, therefore the person responsible remains, IMO, as Pope Leo X.

The faith being defended is Catholicism, but as we know, that didn't suit Henry's libido, so he parted company with Rome etc, etc, etc and so it became a cornerstone of the Protestant Religion and it's coinage.

Every man is entitled to his own relationship with his God, whoever that may be and if that doesn't go to show that organised religion is all Bollocks, then I don't know what does.

Love and respect to all, as always.

Check the answer of Perkris 01-July 09 then consider that after the event there are always those who knew the answer.

Sorry to cast nasturtiums on your benighted grave but ...

1. My reply was NOT from July 09. That was the date I joined the forum. The date and timestamp of each post is at the top.

2. i stand by my reply. I've known about the legend FIDEI DEFENSOR on British coins since Henry VIII, since I was a schoolboy many many years ago. I would be VERY surprised if all but the youngest and newest collectors on the forum didn't know that already. I had (mistakenly) assumed you were genuinely testing our knowledge. Pardon me for not falling for your (rather) simplistic question. Hindsight? You get that looking up a cow's ass, to the vicinity of which I suggest you repair right speedily.

Don't speak to members like that please JAG.

This is a very informal forum, we often wander from the subject. It appears that you're original subject (the set of Churchill medals) has long since 'expired'.

So I'll have the last word here and will close this one. We'll all move on to other things (nicely).
