He was famous for having 6 wives:

Catherine of Aragon

Anne Boleyn

Jane Seymor

Anne of Cleves

Catherine Howard

Katherine Parr

He also broke with Rome in 1534 so that he could divorce his first wife and marry his second, because he wanted a male heir to the throne (his first wife had gone through the menopause). The Pope would not allow him an annulment.
He was famous for his break from the Roman Catholic Church and his six wives.
