Answer 2

The correct answer is Henry VIII.

In the mid-15th century King Henry VIII wanted to divorce from his wife Catalina de Aragon, therefore he appealed to the Pope in order to annul his marriage. Before the Pope's rejection and driven by the general climate of schism with the Church initiated by Martin Luther, Henry VIII decided to break up with the Roman Catholic Church and created the new Anglican Church with himself, the King of England, as the Supreme Head of the Church of England.
