  24. Reformation in England • The Reformation in England was more political than anything else. • It was led by King Henry VIII (1491 – 1547) • Henry was angered that the Pope would not allow him to divorce his first wife, so he broke from the Catholic Church and founded the Church of England (Anglican). • As time passed, Protestantism grew in England and became more powerful than Catholicism.
