Henry VIII wanted a divorce, but divorce was banned by the Catholic Church therefore Henry decided to appoint himself head of the Church of England so he could get a divorce. However, Henry did not become a Protestant and he continued to practice Catholicism until his death. The Reformation in England did not cause the country to become Protestant. It allowed dissenting ideas freer access to the population. The teachings of men like John Calvin became more common in England because the Church of England was not so directly linked to Rome.

What was the reason that humanism did not spread in England?

Humanism did not spread as widely in England compared to other European countries due to the strong influence of the Protestant Reformation and the established power of the Church of England. The tensions between humanist ideas and religious doctrine, as well as the political and social upheavals during the Reformation period, limited the growth of humanism in England. Additionally, the focus on national identity and traditional values in England may have been a factor in the relatively lesser impact of humanism in the country.
