Most people would consider that Martin Luther led the protestant churches. And that is mainly through the publication of parts of The Bible written in German. He was able to do this because of the printing press. Before that, the bible was written in Latin and most of the people couldn't read it. Luther's publications also inspired King James to have it written in English, hence the King James bible.With copies of the bible written in a language that people could read themselves, and published with the aid of the printing press, the Vatican no longer had the absolute control over the masses with its Latin version which only a few copies were available. Martin Luther and King James are initially the ones that led the Protestant churches.

What protestant churches were established by the Reformation?

The reformation really got a boost when England's King Henry the 8th wanted to dump his wife because she couldn't give him a son, but the Pope wouldn't granted him an annulment. Since divorce was not allowed in the Catholic Church, he was stuck with her. So he joined in on the Protestant bandwagon and declared himself the head of religious matters in England. This led to the Church of England.
