Best Answer

He did not divorce any of his wives. His marriage to his 4th wife; Anne of Cleves, was annulled. His marriage to Catherine of Aragon was annulled by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury. This marriage was annulled after the Pope continued to delay giving Henry an answer to his petition for an annulment of his marriage with Catherine. He then broke from Rome, and created the Church of England.

Henry the VIII got a divorce so that he could marry his mistress and have a son to be the heir of his throne because his wife Catherine of Aragon could not conceive a boy.
