Further explanation

Henry VIII (born June 28, 1491 - died January 28, 1547, at the age of 55) was the King of England who ruled from 21 April 1509 until his death.

Henry was the third child and second son of King Henry VII and his wife, Empress Elizabeth of York on June 28, 1491.

In 1502, Henry's brother who was a Prince of Wales (title for the crown prince of England), Arthur, died of sweat. In February 1503, Prince Henry was then crowned Prince of Wales.

King Henry VII died on April 21, 1509, and Prince Henry, who was still seventeen years old, took the throne as Henry VIII. Henry is known for his role which led to the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. This is because of his efforts to cancel his marriage to Katherine of Aragon, which has been running for more than twenty years because their marriage did not produce a son. Pope Clement VII, who was in the custody of Karl V, Holy Roman Emperor, and his niece, Katherine refused to give consent for the cancellation of their marriage, causing a dispute between Henry and the Pope. This then encouraged Henry to separate the Church of England from papal authority, with himself as king and as the Supreme Head of the Church of England; the dispute also led to the dissolution of the monasteries. His main dispute was with papal authority, not doctrinal matters, and he remained a person who believed in basic Catholic theological teachings even though he was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church.
