Explain Henry VIII's role during the Reformation in England and how his actions contributed to the power of the monarchy.
Henry VIII wanted a divorce from Catherine of Aragon and was not granted one. He sought to have parliament find a way for him to have the divorce. Through the Act of Supremacy, parliament dissolved the power of the pope over the church in England, placed Henry as both the head of the church and the head of state, and created a new church: The Church of England. This created a power shift for the monarchy which placed the monarch as the most powerful person in England, both over the church and over the state.
