Hi Bill,

who is X and Y in this case? I thought that Henry King was both X and Y cause he's both the one who is seeking to have the marriage annulled and the one who will marry Anne Boleyne.

Can you please clarify?
Thanks.

'so as to' is used to convey aftermath of some situation.
if the aftermath was expected and intended, use 'so that/in order to'

//intended
Ram worked hard so as to stand first in class - wrong
Ram worked hard so that he can stand first in the class - right
Ram worked hard in order to stand first in the class - right

//aftermath/capability
Ram is so intelligent as to stand first in the class
Ram is so poor as to hardly buy his books
This game is so interesting as to be very addictive
The sauce was so hot as to burn my mouth
