Detailed explanation-1: -Henry broke away from the church and formed his own church, known as the Church of England. In that church he got a divorce from Catherine. After divorcing Catherine, Henry married his second wife, Anne Boleyn.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eager to marry Anne, Henry appointed Cranmer as the Archbishop of Canterbury, after which Cranmer quickly granted Henry’s divorce from Catherine. In June 1533, the heavily pregnant Anne Boleyn was crowned queen of England in a lavish ceremony.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Reformation came about when Henry VIII wished to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, who had failed to give him a male heir. When the Pope refused to grant the divorce, Henry set up the Church of England.
Detailed explanation-4: -Why would Clement VII not permit King Henry VIII of England to divorce Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn? Because Catherine’s nephew, Emperor Charles V, controlled Rome and disapproved of Henry’s request for a divorce.
