Around 1525, Henry VIII was becoming impatient with his first wife, Catherine of Aragon because she was not able to have a son. He soon began courting his future second wife Anne Boelyn. Henry wanted to divorce Catherine and marry Anne, but when he requested a divorce from the Pope, he refused. Henry did not take rejection very well, so he then separated himself from the Catholic Church and formed his own Anglican, Church of England. He was then able to divorce Catherine and marry Anne, which obviously didn't work out either because the man had six wives in his lifetime. The English break from the Vatican coudl be considered the defining point in Henry VIII's reign.
