Martin Luther
Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Henry VIII were pivotal figures in the Protestant Reformation, a movement in the 16th century that sought to reform the Catholic Church's practices and beliefs. Luther's 95 Theses challenged church indulgences, Calvin emphasized predestination and a more austere form of worship, while Henry VIII's break from the Catholic Church established the Church of England. Together, their actions significantly shaped the course of Christianity, leading to the emergence of various Protestant denominations and altering the religious landscape in Europe.
The reformation really got a boost when England's King Henry the 8th wanted to dump his wife because she couldn't give him a son, but the Pope wouldn't granted him an annulment. Since divorce was not allowed in the Catholic Church, he was stuck with her. So he joined in on the Protestant bandwagon and declared himself the head of religious matters in England. This led to the Church of England.
The Six Articles of 1539 were a set of doctrinal statements issued by King Henry VIII of England that reaffirmed key aspects of Catholic doctrine following the English Reformation. They emphasized transubstantiation, the importance of confession, the necessity of clerical celibacy, and the validity of the mass, while also condemning certain Protestant beliefs. The articles aimed to stabilize the religious landscape in England but faced opposition from reformers. Ultimately, they reflected Henry’s desire to maintain control over religious practices while still distancing England from the papacy.

Martin Luther is probably the name that you are looking for, although he really didn't try to make changes in the faith, at least that wasn't why he was declared a heretic. Pope Leo X issued Exsurge Domine on 15 June 1520 condemning the errors of Martin Luther, and Decet Romanum Pontificem on 3 January 1521 condemning and excommunicating Martin Luther and his followers. You may read them below, and the reasons for them.
Henry VIII wanted to suppress the Pilgrimage of Grace, an uprising against his religious policies, and maintain control over the English church. The rebels were demanding the reversal of religious reforms, such as the dissolution of monasteries, and for a return to Catholic practices. Henry saw the rebellion as a threat to his authority and sought to eradicate it through force and negotiations.

Henry VIII was on the English throne for all of that period and, breaking from Rome, founded the Church of England.Emporer Charles (Karl) V of Germany variously sided with King and Rome so you are probably thinking of him..AnswerKing Henry VIII of England. Before he got into his marital troubles, and attempted to remedy them by leaving the Church and forming his own, Henry VIII was a loyal son of the Church. He was famous for writing a thesis called Assertio Septem Sacramentorum or Defence of the Seven Sacraments which was a condemnation of Martin Luther and this thesis condemning the sacraments.
There were people throughout Europe who were beginning to question some of the abuses of power and wealth in the Roman Catholic Church, and there were important thinkers like Martin Luther who were also questioning the theology and religious practices of Rome.
