Henry VIII was born on June 28, 1491. He was the second son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. Henry became King of England in 1509 and is well-known for his six marriages and his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church.
Although King Henry VIII founded the Protestant Church of England, in reality it wasn't that far from the Catholic Church. It was Edward I and more importantly Queen Elizabeth I who really introduced Protestant theology into the Church of England. Queen Elizabeth was known for her religious toleration, allowing any religious group to flourish as long as she was never politically threatened. She was also the queen during the defeat of the Spanish Armada, which signaled a shift in power from Spain to England. The English Renaissance, when Shakespeare wrote, occurred during her reign.
