Answer The Church of England was established by King Henry VIII of England in 1534 (EDIT)
King Henry VIII was instrumental in breaking away from the Pope and establishing the Church of England, with Henry at its head.
The Church of England was established during the reign of King Henry VIII in the 16th century as a response to his desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. This led to the break from the authority of the Pope and the creation of a separate church in England with the monarch as the head of the church.
he became head of the church in England in 1534
He was the King of England and head of the Church Of England. That was his job.
The king became the head of the Church of England primarily due to the English Reformation in the 16th century, which was initiated by King Henry VIII's desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. When the Pope refused to grant the annulment, Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and established the Church of England, declaring himself its Supreme Head. This move allowed him to exert control over religious matters and assert royal authority, fundamentally reshaping the relationship between church and state in England.
Camilla Parker-Bowles is a member of the Church of England, which is the country's established church. She is married to Prince Charles, who will become the head of the Church of England when he becomes king.
