The Protestant Anglican Church in England was founded by King Henry VIII in the 16th century. His desire for an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which the Pope refused, led to a break from the Roman Catholic Church. In 1534, the Act of Supremacy declared Henry as the Supreme Head of the Church of England, establishing Anglicanism as a distinct branch of Christianity.
