Henry VIII was a very important monarch in English history, mostly famous for his six wives. In the process of divorcing first wife Catherine of Aragon, he broke ties with the Roman Catholic Church and made himself Supreme Head of the Church of England, a title the queen holds to this day. He is the reason England is no longer mainly a Roman Catholic country. He set the stage for Anglicanism. He is also the father of the most famous Tudor monarch : Elizabeth I, daughter of his second wife, Anne Boleyn. He is also the father of Mary I, also known as Bloody Mary, daughter of Catherine of Aragon. Mary was a dedicated Catholic, and when she came to the throne attempted to return the country to Catholicism. In the process, she burned over 300 protestants at the stake for heresy. Her half sister Elizabeth ascended the throne at her death in 1558, returning the country to Protestantism.
