It was Henry VIII who broke away to the Church of England, after the Pope wouldn't grant him a divorce to his wife Catherine of Aragon!. Catherine had only bore him one child a girl Mary, as England had just gone through a lengthy dynastic conflict (War of the Roses) Henry feared his lack of a male heir might jepardize his descendent's claim to the throne, when the Pope wouldn't give him his divorce, he decided to remove the church of England from the authority of Rome!. In 1534 the Act of supremacy made Henry the Supreme head of the Church of England!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
