The first hierarchy of the Church of England was established in the 16th century during the English Reformation, primarily under the reign of King Henry VIII. It included the monarch as the Supreme Head of the Church, followed by archbishops, bishops, and priests. The Archbishop of Canterbury was the highest-ranking bishop, overseeing the church's spiritual matters, while bishops governed individual dioceses. This structure was foundational in separating the Church of England from papal authority in Rome.
