In England years ago was it illegal to marry your sister-in-law if your brother had died?
Yes, it was against the canon law of the Catholic church. Henry did it anyway, however, and got a dispensation from the pope. Later, he believed that God was punishing him for having married her (it was considered incest, back in the day--another reason for the big scandal in Macbeth) so Henry asked the pope for an annulment. He wouldn't give him one, for a variety of political reasons, and Henry thus started the Anglican Church.
