Henry the eighth fell in love with Anna Boleyn in time he was married with Catherine of Aragone.In that period the divorce didnt exist so Henry made the "Act of Supremacy" wich made him the head of the church.By this act,he could marry and divorce everytime he needed.Also he desperately wanted a boy wich Catherine couldn't give him.
