King Henry VIII sought to consolidate his power and break away from the Catholic Church, leading to the English Reformation. He got Parliament to pass the Act of Supremacy in 1534, which declared him the Supreme Head of the Church of England. This act facilitated the dissolution of monasteries and the redistribution of church lands, significantly increasing the monarchy's wealth and influence while diminishing the power of the Papacy in England.
