Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

King Henry VIII wanted a divorce from his wife Catherine of Aragon because she had failed to produce a male heir, and he was in love with another woman, Anne Boleyn. However, the Catholic Church did not allow divorce, and the Pope refused to grant Henry VIII an annulment. As a result, Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church and established the Church of England, with himself as the head, so that he could divorce Catherine and marry Anne Boleyn.
