Desiring marriage to his mistress Anne Boleyn, and a subsequent male heir to the throne, King Henry VIII of England stood before the pope with a plea. He wanted to divorce his then wife Catherine of Aragon, who he had come to despise for failing to produce a male heir, and instead marry Anne. However, this request was met with adamant refusal by the pope, who deemed the divorce unholy as it was against the Catholic faith. Upon hearing that his request was denied, Henry became livid and, in with the Act of Supremacy, ordained himself the head of the Anglican Church. He then proceeded to divorce Catherine and take Anne as his new bride. But Henry’s actions against the Catholic Church did not stop there.

As king, Henry VIII was responsible for separating England from the Roman Catholic Church creating the newly formed Church of England.

The events had a great effect on the future. When the Yorkists were defeated at the battle of Bosworth Field, Henry VII became king. It had been hard for Henry to win the throne. He had been in exile, and had had to do constant campaigning to get as far as he did. However, there were still threats to his title.

Would you believe me if I said King Henry VIII’s reign impacted England into the influential modern country we know and love today? Despite all the tragic things he did in his personal life, what he did for England and the public has greater value and overrules the awful things he did in his personal life during his reign. As many people only remember that he killed his wives and subjects, not remembering the good he did for England, we will try to show that despite these tragic events, Henry VIII was overall a successful king of England that changed England for the better. He may have murdered 2 of his wives and divorced two others as they did not give him sons or simply they grew ugly, but he founded the Royal Navy (England's greatest war

The Italian Renaissance is known for having a strong influence on French art. This originated when Charles VIII returned from Naples accompanied by several Italian artists.

Henry VIII was a Roman Catholic who wanted a divorce but his Roman Catholic Church didn’t believe in divorce. They only way someone could re-marry is if they became widowed.

Even if his Beaufort line could be considered for the throne, Henry's mother would be in line to succeed before him. It was in fact remarkable that Henry VII ever succeeded to the throne and England accepted him as king for Henry VII was a former attainted exile who did not have a strong hereditary claim to the throne. But it was his victory at Bosworth field that brought him the throne, not his descent; his weak hereditary claim gave his accession some semblance of legitimacy. Bosworth helped him consolidate his dynasty for it not only eliminated some of the other principle claimants to the English throne, it was regarded by contemporaries as an expression of divine will, as Henry would tell parliament "the true judgement of God in granting him victory over his enemy in the field." In order to further consolidate his claim Henry married Elizabeth of York. He did so partially at the request of Parliament, partly because he could not afford the political price of going back on his pre-Bosworth promise and most importantly to prevent anyone with ambitions for the throne from marrying Elizabeth, who had the stronger claim.

When Henry VII's heir Prince Arthur died prematurely on April 2, 1502 Prince Henry was only ten, and if he were not to survive there remained only his sisters Margaret and Mary. Henry VII fell ill
