Created the Church of England or Anglican Church which was separate from the Catholic Church
Doctrines were vague so that there was a bit of room for religious freedom
Began because of a political dispute between the king and the pope
The pope refused to grant a divorce between King Henry VIII and his Spanish wife and was busy w/ Luther
In response to this, the King broke England's ties with the Catholic Church and established himself as the head of Christian faith
However, after the king died, his two daughters reestablished England as a Catholic nation.
