Because Catherine did not give Henry a son and heir to the thrown, and because he loved Anne Boleyn!
Because she gave him a girl but he wanted a boy.
to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon and to marry Anne Boleyn
Because the Pope wouldn't approve of an annulment from his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
Catherine of Aragon is important in English history. She was Henry the VIII first wife. It was his desire to divorce her that sparked the creation of the Church of England. Catherine was Queen Mary's mother. Both were devout Catholics who never accepted Henry's split from the Catholic Church.
Henry VII never met Catherine Howard. Catherine was the wife of Henry VIII, not Henry VII.
You're thinking of Catherine of Aragon. But that was not the cause of the Church of England, Henry VIII formed the Church of England out of nothing (it was NOT a "split") in order to marry his second wife, Anne Boleyn, as the Church would not grant him an annulment from his marriage to Catherine.
Henry divorced Catherine but he was having an affair with Anne Boleyn whilst married to Catherine as she was too old to have children. The Pope would not let Henry VIII have a divorce so he set up the Church of England and divorced right away.
he ended up marrying another woman.. and catherine died of illness?
Henry split with Rome in 1538
Henry ended his marriage with Catherine as she was cheating on him
After Catherine Howard he married Catherine Parr
Henry VIII split up from the pope to divorce his first wife Catherine of Aragon. At first Henry did ask the pope for the divorce but the pope refused. Henry decided to break away from the pope and name himself as the head of the Church of England so he didn't need permission to divorce Catherine
