I don't know about Henry VII establishing a church, but Henry VIII was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic church and subsequently the Church of England was established. Henry wanted a divorce from Katherine of Aragon so that he could marry Anne Boleyn. This caused a lot of problems, not least of which was the question of divorce being, well, out of the question. I realise my answer is daubed with quite a wide brush and lacking detail, but I'm sure Hedley can fill in the gaps!

What did the pope refused to do that made Henry VIII of England declared himself leader of the church?

He refused to let Henry VIII have an annullment to his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.


Henry VIII aided the entrance of protestant beliefs into England when he?

King Henry (VIII) wanted to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. He applied to the Pope in Rome. The Pope would not annul ther marriage. Basically, Henry said that no one outside England was going to tell him what to do in England, because he was King. So he broke away from the Roman Catholic Church (the Pope), and reformed the Roman Catholic Church that was in England, into the modern Anglican Communion. It is known as the 'Reformation'. NB When you see pictures of King Henry, and knowing his actions from history , he comes accross as a very Autocratic person.


How did Henry VIII use the Act of Supremacy to strengthen his position in England?

The Act of Supremacy established Henry VIII as not only the King of England but the head of the Anglican Church as well. This meant he did not have to answer to any religious ruler and had absolute power over decisions of both church and state in Britain. This power, in a time when the Pope controlled nearly everyone, was unprecedented.


Was Henry VIII buried next to Jane Seymour?

Describe the steps by which England became a protestant country?

During the time King Henry VIII was trying to get rid of his wife, Catherine of Aragon, the Protestant Reformation was going on. Unable to obtain an annulment from the Pope, establishing Protestantism as the primary religion of England, and putting himself as the head of the church, worked to Henry's advantage. When his son, Edward, took the throne, Catholic holy icons, fancy dress and celebration of the saints were banned. When his sister, Mary came to the throne, however, Catholicism was restored, and Mary proceeded to deal harshly with the Protestants. When her sister, Elizabeth I ascended the throne, Protestantism was brought back, firmly establishing it, rather than Catholicism, as the religion of Britain.
