King Henry later fell into a dispute with Pope Clement VII when the pope refused to grant him a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, his first wife. Clement excommunicated Henry. The British Parliament responded by passing the Act of Supremacy of 1534, declaring that the King was "the only Supreme Head in Earth of the Church of England" and effectively separating the Anglican Church from the Roman Catholic Church.

  • King Henry later fell into a dispute with Pope Clement VII when the pope refused to grant him a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, his first wife. Clement excommunicated Henry. The British Parliament responded by passing the Act of Supremacy of 1534, declaring that the King was "the only Supreme Head in Earth of the Church of England" and effectively separating the Anglican Church from the Roman Catholic Church.
  • Besides his six marriages, Henry VIII is known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. Henry's struggles with Rome led to the separation of the Church of England from papal authority, the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and his own establishment as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. Yet he remained a believer in core Catholic theological teachings, even after his excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church. Henry oversaw the legal union of England and Wales with the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542.
  • Henry VIII (28 June 1491 - 28 Jamuary 1547) was a Tudor king of England, the son of that dynasty's founder, Henry VII. In 1521, Henry wrote a scathing Counterblaste against Martin Luther in defense of the Catholic Church. This led the Pope to award Henry the title "Defender of the Faith."
  • Henry VIII (28 June 1491–28 January 1547) was King of England and Lord of Ireland, later King of Ireland, from 22 April 1509 until his death. He was the second monarch of the Tudor dynasty, succeeding his father, Henry VII. Henry VIII is famous for having been married six times to have a son, "divorcing" two by execution, and ultimately breaking with Rome. He wielded perhaps the most untrammelled power of any English monarch, and brought about the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and the union of England and Wales.
