Henry wanted an annulment granted, as when he realised Catherine of Aragon could not provide him with a son (he wanted a male heir to the throne), he wanted rid! The reason he came up with was that their marriage was not legal in the first place, as in The Bible it says something like THOU SHALT NOT TAKE YOUR BROTHERS WIFE..... well, this is the reasoning Henry used.
