Henry Tudor won the throne when he was 27 years old. He had not been trained in statesmanship and warfare as most kings were, and had to learn on his own.

How did Henry VIII fall out with pope?
Henry wanted alot of power and he thought that the pope was getting to much. So he decided that he wanted to rule the place. Also because many people respected the pope and alot more people than today believed in miracles so they thought that listening to the pope will grant them a place in heaven and not in hell. Henry also wanted to divorce from his wife but the pope could not llet him do so becasue there was not a valid reason and in those times you had to sort it out. So then Henry got angry and wanted to over rule the church. This was due to his personality and he mainly wanted power it was also to do with religion so there was many reasons why he and the pope fell out.

Why did king Henry VIII rebel against the catholic church?
WHAT Henry did do, along with the rest of the Church in England was to tell the Bishop of Rome that he had been transgressing the Rules of the Catholic Church by interfering where he had no right to do so! This was true! The Council of Nice in its canons or rules says quite clearly that no Bishop has the right to interfere in another bishops see, without permission of that bishop! This was a terrible embarrassment to the Pope and a source of trouble!
Papal authority was from either the Emperor or from the Councils. The Councils offering was simply Primate of the West, a Position of Honour. There was no authority as by Right Divine, as was and still is claimed. So Henry and England didn't dislike the Catholic Church's Doctrine, only unwarranted , non scriptural additions to that doctrine!
Roman Catholic AnswerHenry VIII disliked the fact that the Church would not annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon so that he could marry again and have a better chance at a male heir. When he petitioned the Pope for an annulment, it was denied, not to mention he had previously requested a blessing on his marriage to Catherine. Irregardless, up until that time, Henry had taken great pride in defending the Catholic Faith and Church, and had been named Defender of the Faith for it. It was only when he didn't get his way, that he got petulant and broke from the Church, taking the entire country along with him when Ann Boleyn, whom he had gotten pregnant while married to Catherine, looked like she might have an illegitimate baby instead of the next heir to the throne of England.What was anne of cleves best known as?

Henry VIII decided to attack France, and Thomas Wolsey was commissioned to gather and equip an army. The reason was mainly that the French, along with the Scots, constituted a threat against English merchant vessels. By uniting with the German- Roman Emperor Maximilian, England would according to plan gain striking power.

Reasons why Henry VIII should shut down the monasteries?
Henry VIII wanted the monastries' wealth. This was something that encouraged a number of rulers in Europe to break with Rome. At the time, the amount of property (real estate) owned by the church was immense and the Church was often referred to as the dead hand [in property]. The point was that an organization like the Church never dies, and so the property doesn't change hands - and isn't subject to inheritance tax. The Church had no incentive to use its property well ... So there was an economic problem. Henry closed down the monasteries so he could collect the taxes as he just wanted more money basicly!
What impact did Henry VIII have?
He broke with the rest of the Catholic Church and, in effect, established the Church of England.

The majority of Anglicans now live outside of England. Anglicanism has had a significant effect on former British colonies, and thus on the world.
Why was the king's great matter so important for Henry?
The King's Great Matter was the event of Henry VIII's break with Rome. It is often speculated that the entire reason for the break was so that he could get his current marriage with Catherine of Aragon anulled and then continue to marry his secret love interest Anne Boylyn.

Charles V was the nephew of Catherine and also the Holy Roman Emperor.
