Upon her coronation, the Queen became the Defender of the Faith. The title dates back to Henry VIII. Before all of the wives, divorces, and church separation, that he is so widely known for, he wrote a treatise in defense of the Catholic faith. This treatise Declaration of the Seven Sacraments against Martin Lutherwas a rebuke of Martin Luther's 95 theses. His reward for his defense was the title Defender of the Faith, by Pope Leo X. This title has been claimed by every English monarch since.
