The Pope in Rome might still be the official head of the State religion in Great Britain. Certainly this would have had a considerable impact on subsequent monarchs, since there were quite a few who were killed/deposed for being "too Catholic".


However, it probably wouldn't have actually have made all that much difference after all. Henry had issues with the Church, and the refusal of the divorce was in some ways just "the straw that broke the camel's back". Henry was quite unhappy with the fact that a man he regarded as essentially just another Italian prince had so much power in Henry's own realm. The divorce was an example of the larger issues, and not by any means the only or even the most important one.

Would a noblewoman in the middle ages that was dismissed by her husband be allowed to remarry?

The status of a woman who has left or been put out of a marriage depends on the way the marriage ended. A divorce was really not possible for most circumstances, and rarely happened. Ending a marriage with an annulment, however, did happen, and in such a case the marriage was considered for purposes of law and Church never to have happened. An example of a marriage that ended with annulment was the marriage between Eleanor of Aquitaine and King Louis VII of France. All the possessions in her dowry were returned to her, and she immediately married King Henry II of England. King Louis VII declared the children of the marriage to be legitimate, which was required because the children of an annulled marriage would otherwise not be considered legitimate. He also remarried.

No Henry VIII did not have any half brothers. While on the outset it would seem that the marriage between Henry VII and Elizabeth of York was a political marriage they loved each other and were faithful to each other. Elizabeth died in 1503 and Henry never remarried.


How come Catholics are allowed to get divorced but weren't during Henry VIII?

Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no such thing as a "divorce" in the Catholic Church and there never has been. Sometimes the Church will allow for a civil divorce if there are very pressing and over-riding reasons, but this would never allow for a remarriage as the persons would still be considered marriage in the eyes of God and the Church. The other thing that you may be thinking of, since you mention Kind Henry VIII is an annulment. An annulment is a decree that no valid sacramental marriage ever took place, that something was missing that was required for a valid marriage. In this case, the Church would demand a civil divorce as they have ruled that there is no sacramental marriage.
