KING HENRY VIII OF ENGLAND RULED FROM 1509-1547

(1534) Passed the Act of Supremacy making himself head of the Church of England

*He wrote the Act of Supremacy which set up the church in his country to be headed by the king. Though he did not consider himself a Protestant, his actions opened the way for the Reformation. He deeply wanted a male heir.
"It took this English king to draw his people away from the Roman Catholic Church."
