He got an annulment. He had married his older brother's wife when the brother died. When he began to think she would not give him a male heir, he tried to find a way of ending their marriage. He used the fact that she was married to his brother previously as a reason to try to get an annulment. She said that the marriage with his brother was never "consummated". In his request for annulment, he stated that he believed she and his brother had consummated their marriage, and therefore made his marriage to her invalid. This gave him a way out, despite the fact they had a female child together.

∙ 7y agoHe started a new church.
He began the Dissolution of the Monasteries and churches, sometimes referred to as the Suppression of the Monasteries. This was a set of administrative and legal processes between 1536 and 1541 which Henry VIII disbanded Catholic monasteries, priories, convents and friaries in England, Wales and Ireland, he then appropriated their wealth, disposed of their buildings by selling or using to build his own buildings. Although the policy was originally envisaged as increasing the regular income of the Crown, much of the former monastic property was sold off to fund Henry's military campaigns circa 1540s. He was given the authority to do this in England and Wales by the "Act of Supremacy", which he forced though Parliament in 1534. This made him Supreme Head of the Church in England, therefore separating England/Wales from the previous Papal authority, and by the First Suppression Act (1536) and the Second Suppression Act (1539).
