In the legal or religious sense, he was most famous for the reforms in Christianity he made. (THIS IS INCORRECT INFORMATION) because of a lack of genetic knowledge at the time, it was believed that womens bodies were responsible for the gender of a child. Henry wanted a son as an heir to the throne, but couldn't divorce his wife under the catholic church, so he started his own, so he could divorce his wife/cut off her head and find a wife who would bear him a son.
Unless there is a typo, the question is about
Henry the VII (seventh). However the answer above pertains to Henry VIII, his son. It should be mentioned that Henry VIII was not contemplating the beheading of his first wife's head...he merely wanted her to accept and acknowledge that the marriage was invalid. Simply put, he wanted to be free to marry Anne Boleyn-it was poor Anne who was beheaded after being falsely accused and convicted of adultery, incest and high treason. His first marriage to Catherine of Aragon was a happy one for a number of years. Unfortunately, both failed to produce a male heir. Instead they bore him girls who both became queen, Mary I and Elizabeth I.
