That would be Henry VIII. He tried to cancel his marriage to his wife so he could remarry and hopefully have a son be heir to his throne, but the clergy refused to cancel the marriage. The king then decided to create his own church, thus the Anglican sub-religion was created and many reforms were made to the Church.

King Henry VIII. When he wanted a divorce, but the Catholic Church wouldn't allow him. He found a group of people protesting (that is where PROTESTant came from) and he could divorce in their religion, therefore, he allowed them to be the ruling religion of England.
