The reformation in England came as a result of King Henry VIII of England. He wished to divorce his first wife because she did not produce a male heir for him. However, in order to receive a divorce under Catholicism at the time the Pope had to grant a dispensation, or a pardon for breaking a rule of Catholicism. The Pope refused to grant the dispensation and for that reason the king sought to break off the church in England from the Catholic Church. Therefore, he pressured Parliament to pass the Act of Supremacy in 1534 which made king of England the head of the church in England. Because of this, the branch of Protestantism Anglicanism was created.
