Answer 1

The correct answer is B) Henry VIII.

Henry VIII broke from the Roman Catholic Church and formed a Church of England in order to remarry.

In the year 1534, the King of England, Henry VIII, broke from the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope to declare himself as the Head of the new Church of England. The problem with Henry’s wife is that he couldn’t have children. Henry was upset and wanted the divorce but the Catholic Church, through the Pope, did not authorize the divorce.
