Phillip II of Spain was King of Spain and married to Mary Tudor of England, thus he was King of England, Ireland, the Pretender to the throne of France He was also the heir to the Duchy of Burgundy, which comprised the various provinces of the Netherlands. He was the son of Charles V who was the Holy Roman Emperor. During his lifetime he saw the disastrous results of the protestant revolt in England, and in parts of Europe. As a good Catholic king, and as King of Spain, he saw himself as the guardian of the faith, as so many other rulers threw over their faith to embrace personal sins and, in the process, abandoned the Church for their people, he, being responsible to God for the faith of the common man did everything in his power to maintain the people's right to their inherited common faith.

Yes Another answer: Henry VIII himself did not "break away" from the Catholic Church.
