Henry VIII . Ironically he had received from the Pope the honorary title- still used by British monarchs, of Fidei Defensor- defender of the Faith! I believe this was in lk5l6 but may be mistaken, he died in l553 so it would have to have been early in his reign. Henry received the title for his written work which defended the doctrine of transubstantiation (that the physical bread and wine in the communion service changed physically into the body and blood of Jesus). This is something that the Protestant Church does not (or at least did not in the 16th century) hold to.
Henry VIII founded the Church of England to divorce Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn.
Henry the 7th ^.^

Hentry VIII
Mary Tudor was a Roman Catholic.
Henry was christened Catholic but when the church refused him a divorce from Catherine of Aragon so he could marry Anne Boleyn, he fought it and was excommunicated for his formation of the Church of England so he and England became Protestant except for a few hold-outs who were persecuted for the few Tudor reigns.
Henry VIII started of as a Catholic, became a Protestant, although he later undid many of his reforms creating the Church of England that's a cross between the Catholic Church and Evangelical churches. Catherine of Aragon was a Catholic. Anne Boleyn was a Protestant. Jane Seymour accepted her husbands religion, although many sources said that she was a Catholic at heart. Anne of Cleeves was a strong Protestant. Catherine Howard was a protestant. Catherine Parr was also a strong protestant. ------ The Children ----- Edward was brought up a protestant, as was Elizabeth, but Mary was brought up a firm believer in the Catholic faith.
== == Well, there might be a number of answers to that question but you are probably thinking of Henry Tudor, better known as King Henry VIII.
She was ostensibly a Protestant Christian.
It started with Henry Tudor (Henry VII) in 1485.
It was Protestant. Elizabeth I, who ruled from 1558-1603, the last Tudor Monarch of England was considered illegimate by the Roman Catholic Church, who wanted her cousin, Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots on the Throne of England. She summoned Parliament to consider a Reformation Bill to create a new church in England in 1559. Parliament entered a new Bill, the Act of Supremacy making Elizabeth the head of the "Protestant" Church of England. Thus in 1600, England was a Protestant monarchy, part of the Protestant Reformation.
Catherine Clitheroe was a Catholic woman from tudor times during protestant who was arrested for hiding priests in her house and missing church. She refused to speak in court and was threatened with death by crushing.
Mary Tudor, also known as Bloody Mary, played a significant role in the Reformation as Queen of England from 1553 to 1558. She pursued a policy of restoring Catholicism in England and was responsible for the persecution of Protestants. Many Protestants were executed or fled England during her reign, leading to a fracturing of religious unity and further fueling the religious tensions of the time.
