What did Henry VIII do to become head of the Church in England?
Henry was head of the Church by reason of the fact that He was chief magistrate in this country! This applied to all monarchs at that time including the pope as head of state in Northern Italy!

Why did Henry VIII make the protestant church?
Henry would have had little time for Protestants. He was aware of a reformist movement in the English Catholic Church trying to introduce theoligical elements based on the new protestant doctrine. When Henry VIII came to the throne, he was a devout Catholic and defended the Church against them. Henry VIII did not agree with their views. In 1521, Pope Leo X honoured Henry VIII with the title "Defender of Faith', because of his support for the Roman Church. When the Pope refused to grant Henry VIII an annulment from Catherine of Aragon, Henry split the English Church from the Roman church. Rather than the pope, the king would be the spiritual head of the English church. Reformest elements in the English Church at that time gave him support.King Henry VIII declared himself supreme head of a new Church of England. (The Act of Supremacy). This marked the start of centuries or religious conflict in Britain. It is a common misconception, particularly amongst Americans, that Henry VIII became a "Protestant" and turned England overnight into a Protestant country.

Why was Henry VIII seen as a significant monarch?
He helped with the reformation of the church of England. Henry also wrote a stinging attack in Luther's Ideas. In recognition the pope gave him the title of "Defender of the Faith". Later political needs, however, soon tested his religious loyalty, He needed a Heir, a male Heir. Henry's father had become a king after a long civil war. He feared that a similar war would start if he died without a son as his Heir. Henry and his wife Catherine of Aragon, had a living child but not a son, a daughter, Mary, but no woman at the time had ever successfully claimed the English throne

What are the political reasons for Henry VIII becoming head of the Church?
A:Martin Luther and others had split with the Catholic Church over issues of morals and doctrine, when they believed the Church had become irretrievably corrupt and had introduced teachings at variance with the Bible, but the split between King Henry VIII and the Catholic Church was fundamentally different. King Henry VIII was a staunch Catholic and had no criticism of the Catholic Church, either in terms of morals or doctrine. In fact, it was his defence of the Catholic Church against the claims of Martin Luther, that earnt him the papal attribute of 'Defender of the Faith'. However, Henry believed he needed a son to ensure the succession to the crown, as there was no strong precedent for female successors. He knew that the Church's rules on annulment were somewhat elastic and so petitioned Pope Clement VII for an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. His grounds would be that her prior marriage with his brother had been consummated and therefore her marriage with Henry was technically incestuous. Clement desperately wanted to please Henry but vacillated for too long. When Pope Clement had unsuccessfully engaged the armies of Emperor Charles in battle, he was no longer a free agent and realised that as Catherine was the aunt of the emperor he could do no other than to refuse the annulment. Henry, in turn, broke ties with the pope and ordered the English bishops to annul his marriage..Henry VIII formed a breakaway Church, with himself as titular head.
