Answer 2

In 1533, Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon, because she bore him no male heir and the pope wouldn't let him. Henry broke from the church and married the now pregnant Anne Boleyn in a secret ceremony. This solved his problem, but Henry was excommunicated by the Pope. The English Reformation had begun.
