Catherine ofAragon was from Spain. She married Arthur, Henry's older brother. Arthur died approximately 5 months after they married. Some say he died of testicular cancer and left Catherine of Aragon a virgin. It was declared so, and Henry married Catherine even though she was 7 years his elder. All accounts indicate that Henry did love Catherine but was unhappy that they did not produce a son, but rather had a daughter they named Mary. Catherine lost 4 of her 5 children. As Catherine aged, Henry became ruthless and was attracted to Anne Boleyn and determined to make Anne Boleyn his new wife. He sent Catherine and daughter Mary into exile claiming that Catherine was not a virgin at their time of marriage. Henry married Anne Boleyn and Catherine died while in exile, some say she had been poisoned.
Henry was a strong catholic. He wrote a letter to the Pope sharing his devotion to Catholics and the Pope, But Catholics don't allow divorce. So Henry asked the Pope for a divorce, and the pope refused. So he decided to demolish all monastries and build his own church- Protestant. Eventually, He overpowered the Pope and changed the countries religion from Catholic to Protestant. He had his divorce and soon after married Anne Boleyn and had a little girl- Mary I.
Because they worked for the Pope who had just denied henry his divorce.
The Catholic Church does not permit divorce. Catholics in England did not recognize the divorce, and therefore viewed Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn as adultery. The Roman Catholic Church does not recognize divorce. Catholics believed that Henry VIII was still married to Catherine of Aragon, and therefore that his relationship with Anne Boleyn was adultery and their daughter, Elizabeth, therefore, a bastard, not qualified to become the queen.
Between 1527 and 1530 Henry attempted to divorce Catherine, but failed. In 1530 he decided to break with Rome in order to divorce her, making him the main ruler of England so therefore he could decide on the laws. On May 10th 1533 the divorce came before court and by May 23rd 1533 the marriage was declared "null and void," giving Henry the divorce he desperately needed.
