Final answer:
Henry VIII received the title 'Defender of the Faith' from Pope Leo X before breaking away from the Roman Catholic Church.
Step-by-step explanation:
Henry VIII received the title 'Defender of the Faith' from Pope Leo X. This title was awarded to Henry for his staunch opposition to the Reformation and his defense of the Catholic Church. However, Henry's relationship with the Pope soured when he sought an annulment to his marriage and the Pope refused his request. As a result, Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and established the Church of England with himself as the head.
