Unreliable KJV-only sites do not answer my questions and points. You try to dodge and avoid actual facts concerning the 1611 edition and other editions of the KJV.
No, I have seen both sites en masse.

They give opposite opinions.

Pick a team and rout for it until doomsday.

I named it Understanding the Bible.
Wait you created this course? I thought you said you took this course? So you just came up with a course, spent 10 hours on it, and you now fully understand the Bible (even though you don't know beans about history)?

King Henry VIII did not license the printing of the 1611 KJV. King Henry VIII licensed in 1537 a printing of a revision of the 1535 Coverdale's Bible. This 1537 Bible stated on its title page: "Set forth with the King's most gracious license." In 1537, King Henry VIII also licensed the printing of the 1537 Matthew's Bible.

The 1539 Great Bible is the first authorized version in English.
The later years of Henry VIII indeed were marked by serious reaction. In 1542 Convocation with the royal consent made an attempt thwarted by Cranmer to Latinise the English version and to make it in reality what the Catholic version of Rheims subsequently became. In the following year Parliament which then practically meant the King and two or three members of the Privy Council restricted the use of the English Bible to certain social classes that excluded nine tenths of the population and three years later it prohibited the use of everything but the Great Bible. It was probably at this time that there took place the great destruction of all previous work on the English Bible which has rendered examples of that work so scarce. Even Tunstall and Heath were anxious to escape from their responsibility in lending their names to the Great Bible. In the midst of this reaction Henry VIII died January 28, 1547


It depends. The KJV was the truly legal Bible, unopposed.

Earlier Bibles were under attack until 1611.

The Great Bible, not the KJV, was the first legal English Bible.
