Henry did not create the Church of England. The provenance of that Church is deep in history, but it has been said that S.Simon Zelotes, the ,'brother,' of Christ brought the faith and Aristobulos, a friend of S.Paul was the first Bishop in Britain!
S.Dorotheus of Tyre. Synopsi de Apostol. 9.
English church ??
Henry III did not create the Church of England. He reigned from 1216-1272. You are probably thinking of Henry VIII. Even he could not really said to have created the Church of England. The proper spadework came in his daughter Elizabeth I's reign.

Answer The Church of England was established by King Henry VIII of England in 1534 (EDIT)

The Church of England Henry was a member of the Church of England, no more! It was not his Church and whilst he was Chief magistrate in this country and had some responsibility towards the Church at law, the Church was simply the Body of Christ in England at that time.
He was very much catholic. Henry the 8th created the church of England only to become head of the church to divorce his wife Catherine. The church of England had all the aspects of a catholic church except that the head of the church was the king of England and not the pope.
King Henry was married to Catherine of Aragon. He falls in love with Anne Boleyn and wants to marry her. He asks the pope to grant him a divorce, but the pope refuses because it was against the Catholic Church to get a divorce. After 7 years, Henry declares that the pope had no power over him and the pope excommunicates him. In 1534, Henry has parliament declare him the head of a new church, the Church of England, or the Anglican Church. This was a Protestant Church.
Henry V111 founded the church of England so that he could divorce his wife.
in 1534 Henry had parliament pass laws that created the church of England.
King Henry VIII was instrumental in breaking away from the Pope and establishing the Church of England, with Henry at its head.
