his motivation was to obtain a male heir. under the Roman Catholic Church the pope refused to legalize the divorce that he wanted. he wanted this divorce, because his wife was unable to produce a male heir for his throne. his reason to separate sounds quite selfish, but its the truth.

The Pope would not sanction Henry VIII getting a divorce, so Henry broke away from the Catholic Church, and placed himself at the head of the Church of England.
