Many, many things.

Most importantly, it was during Henry's reign that the Anglican Church came to be. Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church over the issue of divorce - he wanted a divorce and the Pope wouldn't grant him, for many complex reasons. Henry basically forced parliament to pass a series of laws that would separate Britain from the Roman Catholic Church forever, and the Anglican Church was born.


He also had a ton of wives that he kept killing when he was tired of them... It is interesting to note that Henry really didn't change any doctrines regarding Catholicism and Anglicanism, though. He was actually a very loyal Catholic... he just wanted Anne Boleyn really badly.


That's probably the most significant part of Henry's reign.
