Henry VIII established the Church of England primarily due to his desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which the Pope refused to sanction. Frustrated by the Pope's denial, Henry sought to consolidate power and break away from the Roman Catholic Church's authority, leading to the English Reformation. This culminated in the Act of Supremacy in 1534, which declared Henry as the Supreme Head of the Church of England.

What church did Henry VIII establish in England?

I don't know about Henry VII establishing a church, but Henry VIII was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic church and subsequently the Church of England was established. Henry wanted a divorce from Katherine of Aragon so that he could marry Anne Boleyn. This caused a lot of problems, not least of which was the question of divorce being, well, out of the question.
