Which English king detached the church of England from rome?
King Henry the VIII. He wanted to divorce his first wife (who had not born him a male heir) and marry Anne Boleyn (in the hope she might birth male children). When the Pope refused to give Henry a divorce, he broke off from the Catholic Church and married Ms. Boleyn, killing many Catholic Clergy people who refused to go along with King Henry. Anne Boleyn was unable to bear male children who lived, so she was executed, and Henry's later life was a disaster. He died in terrible pain, and did not have a son to follow him as king. The next ruler of England was a queen (daughter).

Henry had an acknowledged illegitimate son:

There may have been other illegitimate children, possibly by Mary Boleyn, (and in particular her son, Henry Carey) another of Henry's mistresses and sister of Anne Boleyn; but they have not been confirmed or acknowledged, mainly because of the timing of their relationship and the date of birth of Henry Carey.

What did Henry the eighth doo?
According to some commentators he had some 70,000 people executed and looted the monasteries and other religious houses of money and land! He extorted money from the Church and sustained an accident in a joust, which unfortunately didn't kill him. but appears to have had deleterious affects on his mental state and caused obesity! He obtained an annulment from his first wife and having five others had two executed!
One of the things he did was to point out that the pope's activities were illegal and were against the teachings of the Ecumenical Councils, especially the Council of Nicaea. This caused the Pope to sever communion with Henry but left him a catholic prince!

This wife of Henry VIII had too many fingers?
It was said that Anne Boleyn (c1501-07 to 1536), second wife of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) had moles or warts on her neck, and her enemies accused her of having six fingers on one hand. She did not have six fingers, but an abnormality on one of her fingers. However, these facts were used against her when she was accused of witchcraft (as well as adultery and incest). She was unable to provide Henry VIII with a male heir, having given birth to a daughter only (who later became Elizabeth I). Once Henry had tired of Anne (his second wife), the trumped up charges were brought in order to get her condemned. She was found guilty and executed on 19 May 1536.

Luther's efforts of reformation were an attempt to improve connections between the church and its traditions with the people.

When he did not get the support he wished to have, he broke away and created a new faith.
Simply put, Luther wanted to improve the church and Henry used it.
What was Henry VIII's appearance like?
In his youth, Henry was tall, fit, and good-looking. In his later years, however, he became grossly obese, with a stinking ulcer on his leg. See related link for a portrait gallery.
"His Majesty is the handsomest potentate I ever set eyes on; above the usual height, with an extremely fine calf to his leg, his complexion very fair and bright, with auburn hair combed straight and short, in the French fashion, and a round face so very beautiful, that it would become a pretty woman, his throat being rather long and thick. He was born on the 28th of June, 1491, so he will enter his twenty-fifth year the month after next. He speaks French English, and Latin, and a little Italian, he plays well on the lute and harpsichord, sings from book at sight, draws the bow with greater strength than any man in England, and jousts marvellously. Believe me, he is in every respect a most accomplished Prince; and I, who have now seen all the sovereigns in Christendom, and last of all these two of France and England in such great state, might well rest content, and with sufficient reason have it said to me, 'abi viator, sat tuis oculis debe' (go home traveller, your eyes have seen enough).
