Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The English Reformation was marked by a series of events that led to the Church of England breaking away from the authority of the Roman Catholic Church. Henry VIII proclaimed himself the "only Supreme Head" of the Church of England, which was a clear indication of the split from the Pope's authority. This was a significant turning point in English history as the monarch became the head of the church, and the power of the Roman Catholic Church was greatly reduced.
