Detailed explanation-1: -Henry’s driving desire for a male heir was to lead him to divorce two wives and have two wives beheaded: it led to religious revolution and the creation of the Church of England, the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the Reformation. The decisions that Henry made during his reign were to shape modern Britain.
Detailed explanation-2: -The archbishop granted Henry his divorce against the wishes of the pope. This event led England to break away from the Catholic Church based in Rome. Henry placed himself as head of the church which in that case his divorce was legal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Clement VII would have been remembered as one of the great popes of all time, had he lived in another age. He sponsored the artistic works of Cellini, Raphael and Michelangelo, including the completion of the Sistine chapel. He forbade the persecution of Jews in Rome and ordered the Inquisition to leave them alone.
