Most Protestant faiths developed as a leader or group fought against an idea of the Catholic Church. These movements were not popular and often created a target on those separating.
The Church of England was created by a king, Henry VIII, who was throwing a fit over the Church not granting him a divorce. Henry VIII wanted a divorce so he could remarry and get a son.
