She didn't get divorced, her husband, King Henry VIII of England, had their marriage annulled by starting a new Church in England, of which he was the head, and saying that their marriage was invalid. He believed that because she had previously been married to his older brother (a marriage that she claimed was never consummated-- it probably wasn't) that the Pope had been mistaken in giving them special permission (a papal dispensation) to marry despite the fact that she had been married to his big brother Arthur. (Who died son after their marriage). Henry's motivation for having his marriage to Catherine annulled was 1) because he needed an undisputed heir, so he needed his Queen to give birth to a strong, healthy baby boy. Preferably a few in case one or two died off (remember, his big brother died in adulthood before their father died; it was common). 2) He was REALLY into Anne Boleyn who refused to have sex with him until he married her. Henry was not used to women refusing to have sex with him (Mary Boleyn and Bessie Blount both gave him children while he was married to Catherine of Aragon).
