Henry VIII of England broke from the Catholic Church in 1534 when the Act of Supremacy was passed which declared that the King of England was "the only Supreme Head in Earth of the Church of England". The Treasons Act 1534 declared it to be high treason (punishable by death) to refuse to acknowledge the King as such.
