Fundamental religious orientation in Europe was primarily and predominately the Roman Catholic Church, until a German Roman Catholic monk, Martin Luther, nailed his written, 95 Theses on the door of the castle church in Willenberg Germany, in 1517. This began the Protestant Reformation. Another Protestant Church break-away from the Roman Catholic Church began when King Henry VIII of England persuaded the Parliament of his country to pass the Act of Supremacy, making him the head of the Church of England. Originally, King Henry VIII was Roman Catholic, until he wanted to divorce his wife Catherine. Pope Clement VII refused to grant him a divorce, so with his new power as the head of the Church of England granted, King Henry VIII divorced his wife using his own authority.

Henry VIII was the second king of the Tudor line, which seized power after a politically volatile period in English history, the Wars of Roses. His line had only tangential claims through a female line of murky legitimacy and a male line from a former queen consort. At this time, there were still people with better claims to the throne than Henry, such as the noble Pole family, so Henry VIII had probable need to test his subjects’ loyalty to him and augment his own stability should his nobles not like his changes. This is particularly clear in his treatment of dissenters such as Sir Thomas More and Reginald Pole, who he had beheaded for treason, which in addition to asserting his power, weeded out those powerful figures who could oppose him. Additionally, his new stewardship of his nation’s Church allowed Henry to achieve a state of divinity, thereby cementing the Tudor line and all Protestant monarchs from it as the true leaders, ordained by God, making it harder for religious peasants and noblemen to rebel against them for fear of invoking God’s wrath.…

Anne Boleyn was King Henry’s second wife, and she was the very reason why the power of the pope had been taken away. It all started when he wanted a divorce, and the pope wouldn’t grant it, so he took power away from the pope to get his divorce. His marriage didn’t end on the best terms.

Cavendish is say that King Henry fell deeply in love with Anne Boleyn. “Absence is already too much for me: and when I think of the increase of what I must needs suffer it would be well nigh unbearable for me were it not for the firm hope I have and as I cannot be with you in person, I am sending you the nearest possible thing to that, namely, my picture set in a bracelet.”(King HenryVIII to Anne Boleyn) He also sends “I think it long since I kissed you,” and “Think your kindness and my fervents of…

To six wives he was wedded, one died, one survived, two divorced, and two beheaded. This is the timeline of Henry VIII’s six wives. Henry VIII was a king who was known for marrying six different times. Each time he got married, something bad would happen to his wife. Therefore, when his name is mentioned, a negative connotation is felt, but this should not be the case. Henry was very religious, and “In 1521 he wrote a pamphlet attacking Martin Luther and his teachings...” (Beck, 431). At the time Martin Luther was against the pope and his teachings, so Henry was rewarded by the Pope for writing against Martin Luther. This shows Henry’s commitment and well-being.
