no he didn't because divorce was not allowed in the roman catholic church. Henry therefore created the church of England
She asked Anne Boleyn for help
Yes, Henry the VIII did send a letter to the pope of the time asking for a divorce.
Henry divorced Catherine but he was having an affair with Anne Boleyn whilst married to Catherine as she was too old to have children. The Pope would not let Henry VIII have a divorce so he set up the Church of England and divorced right away.
King Henry was married to Catherine of Aragon. He falls in love with Anne Boleyn and wants to marry her. He asks the pope to grant him a divorce, but the pope refuses because it was against the Catholic Church to get a divorce. After 7 years, Henry declares that the pope had no power over him and the pope excommunicates him. In 1534, Henry has parliament declare him the head of a new church, the Church of England, or the Anglican Church. This was a Protestant Church.
Catherine or Aragon was first married to Arthur (Henry VIII's brother). However, after the death of Henry VII, Henry VIII decided to marry Catherine for political gains. Tensions arose between the two when both children of Catherine died and Henry VIII wanted a son for his legacy. Soon after, Henry started affair with Mary Boleyn and decided for a divorce from Catherine of Aragon.

The pope never allowed it. Henry left the Church and proclaimed himself head of the Church of England and then gave himself permission to divorce Catherine.

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.
the pope would not let him divorce Cathrine of aragon because in the catholic church divorce was banned . So Henry created the church of England .
He began the church of England because the pope would not allow Henry the viii to divorce Katherine of Aragon.
He wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon because he needed a male heir to the throne. Passing this act would allow him to do it. The pope would not allow divorce, even for the king.
The Church of England was established because the pope would not allow Henry VIII to divorce Katherine of Aragon. Henry did not take over the CofE. He was largely responsible for its establishment. Before Henry wanted to divorce, the religion followed by the majority of the country was Roman Catholicism.
King Henry VIII fist wife was his older brother's widow Catherine of Aragon. Queen Catherine was not killed she died a natural death. However, King Henry did divorce her and established the Protestant Church of England in order to do so because the Catholic Church (the Pope) would not allow the divorce.
Henry VIII gave himself a divorce. After he had asked the Pope if he could divorce, the Pope had refused. Infuriated, he had told the pope he had no authority over england. Then he mad himself head of the church (Act of Supremacy).
I think that it was because Henry VIII wanted a son and Catherine of Aragon could not , according to historians, give birth to any more children. He set up the Church of England to divorce Catherine because the pope would not allow it. Anne Boleyn was the next girl in waiting but Henry was not aware that she was already pregnant. Henry was forced to divorce Catherine for Anne would not approve of having sexual intercourse with a married man. Hope this helps :) lols
