Why did king Henry VIII create his own curch?

Answer 1

That certainly isn't what he set out to do. In the beginning, he really wanted to remain in the Roman Catholic Communion. He also wanted a son. His first wife, Catherine of Aragon, was not able to have any children that survived longer than 52 days, except for the future Mary I, Queen of England. Catherine had a total of 6 pregnancies. A son lived for 52 days, and another son was stillborn. Even though he had a surviving daughter, Henry wanted a son in order to stave off possible succession problems. Henry went to great lengths to see if he could somehow separate from Catherine, marry another, and remain in the Church's good graces. It did not work out that way. He established the Church of England, and had his marriage to Catherine declared invalid. Henry married Anne Bolyn, the mother of Elizabeth I, and Anne was the first of Henry's two wives who were beheaded.

Answer 2

King Henry was married 6 times. He and the pope argued over whether he could divorce or not. The pope refused and Henry decided to have his own church with his rules and so began the Church of England.
