Detailed explanation-1: -However, Henry formally broke with the Pope and the Roman Church after Pope Clement VII refused to grant him an annulment of his marriage to Katherine of Aragon so that he could wed Anne.
Detailed explanation-2: -Katherine produced six children, but only a daughter (the future Mary I) survived. As the years went by, Henry became desperate for a male heir, finally attempting to divorce his Queen for a younger woman.
Detailed explanation-3: -With Catherine unable to give him a male heir, Henry sought an annulment from the Catholic Church. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church denied the annulment because marriage was supposed to be for life in the Catholic Church. Henry broke away from the church and formed his own church, known as the Church of England.
