Henrich VIII

Henrich VIII was King of England from 1509 until his death in 1547, known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. His reign saw significant political and religious upheaval, including the establishment of the English Reformation, which was driven by his desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. He is also famous for his six marriages and the dissolution of the monasteries, which greatly altered the religious landscape of England.
