The act of supermacy in England laid the foundation to what church?

Couldn't be the Anglican Church because that Church had been here since just after the death of The Emperor Tiberius!It was first called Anglican in the 8th, Century and again in 1215 at Runnymede!The Act of Supremacy was an instrument to ensure the Clergy recognised the place of the Monarchy in the England of the early 16th, Century! [ O.Wakeman* ] Henry was engaged in a somewhat personal feud with the Bishop of Rome and he was taking no chances with the clergy! He proceeded against them by law .They were found guilty, as indeed technically they were and bought the due penalty of Death off, by a huge subsidy to Henry of £100.000 pounds. An enormous sum in those days! They also took out an insurance policy by agreeing "Acknowledge His Majesty to be the singular protector, only and supreme lord and as far as the Law of Christ will allow, supreme head of the English Church and Clergy".This Law laid no foundation as far as I can see, it certainly made very little difference to the Church, certainly in real terms. The monarch was head, or chief magistrate in England and was responsible for processing the law! This act only confirmed the place of the Church and King together on the statute books.*History of the Church of England!
