Detailed explanation-1: -The English Parliament approves the Act of Supremacy in 1534. What are the causes and the effects? Causes: Henry VIII need to annul his marriage to Catherine so he could remarry in order to get a male heir. The pope does not allow this, so Henry calls the Parliament to session and passes the act of supremacy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The 1534 Act of Supremacy then recognised the king as the Supreme Head of the Church in England with ‘full power and authority’ to ‘reform’ the institution and ‘amend’ all errors and heresies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Henry VIII’s fifth parliament is known as the ‘Reformation Parliament’. It passed the first laws of the Reformation and some of the most important. Henry called it to pressurise the Pope in Rome into granting Henry’s divorce from Catherine of Aragon.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
