Henry VIII wanted a divorce from Catherine of Aragon becasue he wanted a son and she was too old to have any more children. At the time England was a Roman Catholic country so he had to ask permission of the Pope. The Pope wouldn't grant his divorce, so, Henry separated from Rome and made the country protestant. He lead the Church of England and gave himself the divorce.
