Why Did King Henry Break with Rome?

• Henry VIII was a catholic when he first came to
  the throne of England. The Pope gave him a title
  Defender of Faith, because he had wrote a book
  defending the Popes title.
• But this all changed

Then...

• The Pope and King Henry had fallen out. It was
  over Henrys marriage to Anne Boleyn. He had been
  married before and this was against the Catholic
  Religion. But were there other reasons?

What were his reasons?

• I believe that there were 3 main reasons why King
  Henry broke away from Rome
• Because of Economic reasons.
• Because of Personal Reasons.
• And Because of religious reasons.

6
Economic Reasons.

• What does Economic mean?
• Economic means to do with money and finance.
• In this time, rulers had to pay a lot of taxes
  towards the Pope. People of the time say that the
  Pope was more Greedy and selfish than a religious
  leader.

7
Personal Reasons.

• Henry was growing old and worried. Who would take
  the throne once he dies? This is one among many
  of the personal reasons King Henry had for
  breaking away from Rome, as he only had daughters.

8
Religious Reasons.

• Anne Boleyn was a protestant. This means that the
  religion she was part of, protested against the
  Catholic Church. They believed that the Pope and
  Cardinals were to greedy. These complaints were
  issued at the time of which Henry was in a feud
  with the Pope. So he decided to join the Religion
  and make himself head of the English Church.
