How did King Henry get his divorce?

If you mean Henry VIII's divorce from Katherine of Aragon, then it's quite simple. Henry asked the Catholic Church to condone his divorce from Katherine on the grounds that she was his brother's wife first, and he was committing adultery by marrying her. It wasn't, and the Catholic Church told him no. So Henry decided he'd had enough of the Catholic Church and created the Church of England, putting Henry himself as the head of the Church. The new Archbishop of Canterbury, Cranmer, declared Henry's marriage null and void.
