This answer is provided by Mrs. T's Y8 History class in the Thomas Alleyne School, Stevenage, Herts. Henry VIII went against the pope in 1533. He was married to Catherine of Aragon but she did not produce a male heir. He had fallen in love with Anne Boleyne. He asked the Pope for a divorce because the Pope had oroginally given him permission to marry his brother's (Arthur) widow. The Pope was being held captive by Catherine's nephew, Emperor Charles V, so would not agree. In a Catholic Europe divorce was not acceptable. Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church and the Pope and declared himself to be the Head of the Church of England. Thomas Cranmer (Archbishop of Canterbury) could now declare Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon unlawful (because The Bible states you cannot marry your brother's wife). However, Henry had already secretly married Anne Boleyne (bigamously) and she was pregnant (with Elizabeth I, so was illigitemate, which would cause problems later) Henry then proceeded to close down the monasteries.
