Answer:
With the Act of Supremacy of 1534 of the king, Henry VIII makes England a Protestant country and can divorce Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn
Explanation:
The marriage of Henry and Anna, as well as her subsequent execution, made her a key figure in the political and religious upheavals that marked the beginning of the Reformation in England.
At the time of the meeting with his future lover in 1522, Henry VIII was married to Catherine of Aragon, who gave birth to the the only surviving child, Mary (the future Queen of England, Mary I, known as Mary the Bloody), and was in a relationship with her lovers: Bessie Blount and Maria Boleyn.
Not getting, being married to the queen, the long-awaited male heir, Henry VIII cooled down to his wife, who disappointed him, relations with constant favorites got bored. Having met Anna, the king became interested in her. Having received consent from Anna to become his wife, Henry VIII began to search for a solution to divorce Catherine of Aragon. It is likely that the idea of annulment of marriage (not divorce in the modern sense) came to Henry much earlier than meeting Anna and was motivated by his desire to have an heir to ensure the stability and legitimacy of the Tudor dynasty on the throne of England. In 1531, he asserts his supremacy over the English Church. The king stripped the church of the privilege of non-jurisdiction and the privilege of levying taxes on wills, the largest source of income for the church. Thus, the formation of the Church of England was legislatively fixed, in which all the secular and doctrinal power was concentrated in the hands of the monarch. This gave him the opportunity to invalidate the marriage with Catherine.
