Detailed explanation-1: -King Henry VIII’s break with the Catholic Church is one of the most far-reaching events in English history. During the Reformation, the King replaced the Pope as the Head of the Church in England, causing a bitter divide between Catholics and Protestants.
Detailed explanation-2: -This put Henry VIII in a tough position. He was faced with an ultimatum that could possibly excommunicate him from the church if he allowed himself a divorce. It also meant that under Catholic Church law, your soul could never get to Heaven.
Detailed explanation-3: -This, coupled with Henry’s infatuation with Anne Boleyn, was behind his desire to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and marry her. Henry would divorce two wives, and behead two – Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard – for adultery and treason.
