What did Henry VIII want to do?
As most Kings from any period in History, King Henry VIII wanted to hang onto his throne and go down in history as a successful ruler, however one of the things King Henry is most notorious for is creating the Protestant Branch of the Catholic Faith. The motivation for this was purely selfish, as the Pope would not grant him a divorce from his first wife (Catherine of Aragon) so that he could marry the second (Anne Boleyn). Henry isolated himself from the authority of the Catholic faith, effectively made himself head of the church, and demanded his subjects do the same. This move greatly decreased his popularity among his subjects and plunged the nation into Religious uncertainty for many years to come. King Henry the Eighth also wanted a son to act as his heir, to succeed him on the throne. This ambition cost him the lives of four of his six wives. (Opinions may differ.)

What was the main reason for Henry VIII's split with Roman Catholic Church?
King Henry the 8th wanted to divorce his wife and the Catholic Church (the Pope) refused to grant permission, so he invested religious authority in the Church of England.
The history of the Church of England goes back to the late 6th century and the kingdom of Kent. The events in the lives of Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and others were important contributing factors to the split, but they are a continuation of centuries of development. Early on, the church in England emphasized the importance of apostolic succession rather than the highly centralized Roman hierarchy. Apostolic succession is the idea that authority is handed down from bishop to bishop by a laying-on of hands. The Church of England, after this split, formed Presbyterianism and Anglicanism as its main branches of Christianity.
Where did Henry the VIII get married to Kathryn Howard?

Did Catherine Howard have an affair?
Yes, after less than two years of marriage.
Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) was Henry VIII's fifth wife, and a lot younger than Henry (1491 - 1547). Henry and Catherine were married on the day that Thomas Cromwell (Henry's chief minister who fell from grace) was executed, 28 July 1540. Catherine was a cousin of the ill fated Anne Boleyn (Henry's second wife, who was beheaded in 1536) and also a niece of the Duke of Norfolk. Henry was much in love and happy with her, but Catherine made the tragic mistake of having an adulterous affair with a cousin of her mother's, Thomas Culpepper, which was a treasonable offence. Henry had always seen Catherine as his "rose without a thorn", despite the ever growing gossip about her previous affairs which had taken place when she was younger. Henry was said to have sobbed when the awful evidence of the truth was brought to him.
Catherine was arrested, but was reported to have tried desperately to intercept Henry when he was coming out of mass at Hampton Court. She is said to have run screaming down a corridor but was stopped by guards. Her ghost is said to haunt that corridor.
She was eventually taken to the Tower of London on 10 February 1542. Due to be executed on the 13th, Catherine asked for the executioner's block to be brought to her cell so that she could practice putting her head upon it. On the 13th February 1542 she went to her death, which was mercifully over quickly. Her body was placed in the chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula at the Tower, to join that of her cousin Anne Boleyn.
