Want this question answered?
Because the Pope would not recognize Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon and marriage to Anne Boleyn.
No, because of how the monks were living in it.
because he smells bad lolActually it was Henry VIII who was called Defender of the Faith because he wrote a treatise denouncing the reformist ideals of Martin Luther (who was condemned as a heretic), and the Pope therefore gave him the title "Defender of the Faith". Ironically, Henry broke away from the Church of Rome in later years. And, yes, he probably was a bit smelly in those days!
Henry the 8th was declared 'defender of the faith' in the year of 1533.
not very well. from then on he went against Henry and Henry lost his title 'defender of the faith'!!:(
Henry VIII was.
Fidei defensor - Defender of the faith
Henry IV established a four year battle with the Catholic League because he felt that it was important for him to not give up his Calvinist faith. He guaranteed religious liberties by the end of the religious war.
Henry the VIII was called the 'Defender of Faith' by the pope, Pope Leo X, because he wrote "Defense of the Seven Sacraments" which was critical of Luther and promoted the Catholic faith. Ironically, he kept this title after splitting from the church, and the title continues to be passed down to British monarchy.
Yes the Pope gave Henry the title defender of faith...:) Don't know why though....:) Hope I helped....:)
Richard Henry Whitehead has written: '... Our faith moved mountains!'
A schism.
