Description
A detailed account of the major Reformation of England during the reign of King Henry VIII. Henry, like the rest of England, was a Catholic in the early part of the 16th century, and therefore needed a special dispensation to divorce his first wife, Katherine of Aragon. When the Pope continually denied Henry's desire for a divorce, he and his counsel eventually created the Church of England, thereby making King Henry God's chosen representative here on Earth, able to do whatever he wished in matters of religion. Naturally, his first act as Head of the Church was to divorce Katherine. The book gives great detail regarding the technicalities of the split from Rome, lending more depth to a topic that is often only known of in broader terms.
