You pretty well got the right answer for 1500-1600. My notes:

1500-1600 - FALSE (BUT ALMOST TRUE) - Early in 1513, Henry VIII went to war with France. Before crossing the Channel, he made his wife Governor of the Realm and Captain-General of the remaining armed forces. Almost as soon as Henry's ships were out of sight, the King of Scotsl, James IV, (who was married to Henry's younger sister Margaret and had signed a friendship treaty with England) prepared to invade England. Left in charge, Catherine rose to the challenge, showing great zeal and ardour in the preparations for the Scottish expedition, and was riding towards the north to put herself at the head of the troops when the Duke of Norfolk's victory of Flodden Field ended the campaign."

Any more for the rest?
