In this article we will explore the personal, political and theological aspects of Henry VIII and the beginnings of British religious reform and explore the importance of Henry VIII as one of the major players in reform.

Henry VIII wanted to divorce with Aragorn 's first wife Katherine, so he began religious reform in the UK. Over time, it has more closely matched Protestant reforms in Europe, especially during Henry's son, the regime of Edward VI.
