King Henry the 8th (VIII) of England (1491-1547) established the Anglican Church for many reasons. To answer it unbiasedly, one should say that the Anglican Church was established simply because the Roman Catholic Church disallowed divorce; and, the then Queen Catherine of Aragon was incapable of providing him with sons. Which, at that time, were necessary to the lineage of any monarchical structure. In doing this, through countrywide tribulation, King Henry and the Archbishop had his marriage declared void and null under his new statutes; in turn, he was able to divorce his wife and marry another.
To answer the way King Henry VIII persuaded his people was thus: the Catholic Church in England (and elsewhere) was corrupt in it's practice and dogma, being considered idolatry and saint-worship by the reformation starting with Martin Luther in Germany (Martin Luther founded Lutheranism). Also, he often speculated on a Kings duty to his people and was not keen of the Pope (the leader of the Roman Catholic faith) being above him in any way. He had himself, and any King of England thereafter, considered the sovereign of the Church in England.
