Fidei defensor - Defender of the faith
Henry VIII's break with Rome was significantly influenced by his desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn. Anne's refusal to become his mistress and her strong Protestant beliefs, which aligned with the growing Reformation movement, encouraged Henry to seek independence from the Pope. This led him to establish the Church of England, allowing him to marry Anne while also asserting his authority over religious matters in England. Ultimately, Anne's faith and her pivotal role in Henry's personal and political ambitions were key factors in this historic split.
