There's a bit of history missing in the listed items. After Henry's multiple wives and many attempts to sire a son, he did finally have a son who became heir to the throne. Edward VI succeeded Henry VIII as king -- but was only 9 years old when he did so. And he was an unhealthy child, who died when he was just 15. During the time Edward was king, other advisors had a strong influence, including Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury. During those years of Edward's reign, England was pushed further toward Protestantism in its religious stance. When Edward died, and Henry VIII's first daughter, Mary, became Queen, she was intent on returning the English church to the fold of Rome and the pope. She actively persecuted Protestantism, thus earning the "Bloody Mary" name. Following Mary's death, Queen Elizabeth returned the English church to a more Protestant-leaning direction and again to independence from Rome.
