Which of the English monarchs was the founder of the Church of England?

Historical impact of the creation of the church of England?
The Church of England evolved from two religious schisms in Britain. The first began when Henry VIII wanted to get rid of his current wife to marry his mistress, and the Pope would not allow it. As a result, he distanced Britain from papal authority, and became the head of the Church of England. The second schism occurred after the death of his Catholic daughter, Mary I, and the ascension to the throne of his Protestant daughter, Elizabeth I. She firmly established the Church of England and served as head of the Church.
What nation became protestant because its ruler wanted a divorce that the pope would not grant?
I think you are reffering to King Henry VIII of England wanting to annul (not divorce) his marriage to his first wife, Katharine of Aragon. The Roman Catholic Church would not allow him to do this, so he broke away from Romer and set up his own church in England which he declared himself the head of. Some speculate that he did this mainly because he wanted the English lands and monasteries that belonged to the Church in Rome to be his instead. This church that he made in England was not really Protestant to begin with as Henry VIII considered himself a Catholic -just not a Roman Catholic. However the Anglican Church took on more Protestant beliefs after Henry's reign, particularly during the reigns of Edward VI and Elizabeth I. Today the Anglican Church considers itself to be both Catholic and Reformed.

He removed England from the Pope's control, seized many of the Church's assets and declared himself to be the head of the Church.
