There were several reasons why the Pope refused Henry VIII the divorce from Catherine of Aragon. First was because they had a dispensation from the previous Pope saying that it was fine for them to get married, even though she had been married to his brother before. The second was because shortly before Henry asked the Pope for the divorce The Holy Roman Emperor Charles sacked Rome and had the Pope captive. Charles was the nephew of Catherine-so the Pope was not about to make Charles mad by giving Henry the divorce.

What did Henry VIII do to Catherine?
Well, i am very intelligent with History NOT and I know alot about Henry VIII Yes he did cheat on Catherine of Aragon, in fact he cheated on nearly all of his wives other than Anne Boleyn which caught him out. The truth was King Henry VIII was a homosexual. No joke, he gave Tomas Wolsey the job as Chancellor because he was also 'gay' and they soon started a secret relationship. Henry VIII still had many wives throughout this affair. I hope this answer was helpful to you.

Why did Catherine Howard get divorced?
She didn't get divorced, her husband, King Henry VIII of England, had their marriage annulled by starting a new Church in England, of which he was the head, and saying that their marriage was invalid. He believed that because she had previously been married to his older brother (a marriage that she claimed was never consummated-- it probably wasn't) that the Pope had been mistaken in giving them special permission (a papal dispensation) to marry despite the fact that she had been married to his big brother Arthur. (Who died son after their marriage). Henry's motivation for having his marriage to Catherine annulled was 1) because he needed an undisputed heir, so he needed his Queen to give birth to a strong, healthy baby boy. Preferably a few in case one or two died off (remember, his big brother died in adulthood before their father died; it was common). 2) He was REALLY into Anne Boleyn who refused to have sex with him until he married her. Henry was not used to women refusing to have sex with him (Mary Boleyn and Bessie Blount both gave him children while he was married to Catherine of Aragon).
