Henry VIII was granted the title Defender of the Faith by the pope because he had written a pamphlet denouncing Martin Luther's teachings and promoting the Roman Catholic Church early in his reign.
Henry VIII was competitive and vain, and other Kings at the time had titles, such as King Charles being 'The Catholic King'. After Henry wrote his 'Assertio Septem Sacramentorum' (Defence of the Seven Sacraments) in response to Luther's criticisms, the Pope finally gave into Henry's vanity and gave him the title 'Fidei Defensor' (Defender of the faith).
Henry VII wasn't a good defender, and he wasn't a very nice person either. Henry VIII was a good King, and looked after England well, but was a womanizer and wasn't very nice to his wives.
