Because he wanted to divorce his wife and couldn't while he was with a catholic church.
I don't know about Henry VII establishing a church, but Henry VIII was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic church and subsequently the Church of England was established. Henry wanted a divorce from Katherine of Aragon so that he could marry Anne Boleyn. This caused a lot of problems, not least of which was the question of divorce being, well, out of the question. I realise my answer is daubed with quite a wide brush and lacking detail, but I'm sure Hedley can fill in the gaps!
Henry VIII's first marriage did not produce a male heir, so he wanted a divorce, which the Pope would not grant him. Afters some years of argument, Henry decided to call himself the head of the Church in England, and break away from the religious overlordship of the Pope. Thus the Church of England was set up, and the way was open for other ideas such as Lutheranism to take hold in England.
Yes. St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, England, is open to the public, school groups, etc. Henry VIII is interred there with his third wife, Jane Seymour.
The church of England did not want him preaching at their church again.

William Tyndale was burned at the stake for being a heretic in October of 1536. His last words were "Lord, open the king of England's eyes". The king of England at that time was king Henry the VIII and 2 years after Tyndale's death the king published the bible in the common language.
Yes, several castles associated with King Henry VIII still exist today. Notably, Hampton Court Palace, which he expanded and remodeled, is well-preserved and open to the public. Other historic sites related to his reign, such as the Tower of London, also remain intact and serve as popular tourist attractions. These sites provide insight into the Tudor period and Henry VIII's life.
Technically, all of his wives died because, obviously, they lived long ago. However, if you mean "How many of his wives did Henry VIII kill?" then the answer is either two or four (if you're a Catholic). Henry's second marriage to Ann Boleyn was declared illegal by the Pope because Henry was still married to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. This lead Henry to declare himself the new head of the Church of England and so declare that his first marriage was illegal. Henry subsequently annulled his marriage to Ann Boleyn, meaning she was never his wife, just before he had her executed.Henry's fourth marriage to Ann of Cleves was similarly annulled though she was not killed.Henry's fifth wife, Catherine Howard, was also annulled before Henry had her executed. Henry's last wife, Catherine Parr, outlived him.

No such St. exists! There was a woman named Jade Goody in Upshire, England who died of cancer in 2009, I believe. Someone from the Open Church of England felt she should be declared a St. However, she was not a member of the church.
There was never a pope of EnglandHenry made the break with the pope (who lives in rome) as the pope refused for him to get a divorce from catherine of aragon, who failed to produce a male heir. the catholic faith at that time forbidded a man or a woman to divorce one another, but this all changed when Henry decided to open up a new church with him as its leader 'the church of England.' this church was a protestant. some historians also believd that the break with rome had financial implications. Henry needed money ant the catholic church had it!Anglican Catholic Answer!True enough ,no pope of England but there was an English Bishop of Rome !Henry didn't ,'make the break with Rome,' it was infact Rome that broke with Henry over Catherine of Aragon, quite a different thing, d'ye see! It was the papacy that scored a home goal in doing so! He couldn't give Henry an annulment because the German Emperor had the Pope bottled up and in gaol, he was also Catherine's nephew!No matter how much we hear of this business at that time, it was not a thing regarding religion was a fraca between two rulers! Two things changed the scenario, one was that the pope took umbrage at an English Church pointing out about the Pope disregarding the ancient canons and the fact that amongst the wider Church for some two or three hundred years there had been ongoing attempts to curb the Pope's authority! Now there was a whole new game to play! The Pope wasn't pleased. He'd been trying to narrow the goal posts and Henry had set them at the width of the field.What is quite interesting is that the Convocation of the English Church took time out in the early days of the Reformation in England to put out markers affirming its beliefs in The Seven Ecumenical Councils, [more or less.] 1536/7 /46. This was a direct challenge to the papacy, authority was being taken out of Rome's hands and put back where they were in early scripture, in Acts, that is in the hands of the College of Bishops.
The Anglican Church of the seventeenth century was the brainchild of Henry VIII, Edward, and Elizabeth I, and their "divines". Basically they tried to construct a church from scratch with the property they stole from the Catholic Church and keep everything as much like the Catholic Church as possible so that they wouldn't have open rebellion from the people. Thus while throwing out the major dogmas on which the Church is built: like Transubstantiation, and the Latin language (the Church in England for the most part was the Latin Rite), they kept vestments, altars, Church seasons - the Church calendar, they kept the basic structure of the Mass for their new Protestant worship service, etc. The Puritans wanted to purge EVERYTHING that smacked of Rome from their Church. They thought that the monarchs had not gone far enough in "purging the Church of Rome" and they were going to make it "pure". Thus vestments, the service, the prayer book, anything that smacked of Rome in their eyes was to be gotten rid of.
