The Kingdom of England is a strong and independent kingdom. Most of the English people were born and raised in the Roman Catholic faith, until King Henry VIII cut ties with The Catholic Church and created the Church of England to marry Anne Boleyn. The country is now divided between Catholics and Protestants, and ruled by Queen Elizabeth.
Events
Early life
Pope Clement VII refused to annul the marriage of Henry VIII, so he could marry Anne Boleyn, thus prompting the English Reformation, and creation of the Church of England.
King Henry VIII was the King of England and had six wives in his lifetime. The most famous being Anne Boleyn. He divorced his first wife Catherine of Aragon to re-marry Anne Boleyn, hoping she could give him a son. The Catholic Church in Rome would not permit him a divorce so Henry broke away from them and created the Church of England instead.
Catherine of Aragon was the first wife to the King of England for 24 years, and mother to his first living child Mary Tudor, until he grew angry with her, blaming her for not birthing a living male heir. Once he met the younger Anne Boleyn she convinced him to marry her. Catherine was then exiled after she refused to lie, and tell the world she had consummated her marriage to her first husband, Henry's older sickly brother Arthur, before his death.
Anne Boleyn was the mother of the Princess Elizabeth. Before they could marry, Anne Boleyn convinced Henry VIII to break away from the Catholic Church who refused to give him an annulment. During the 5 year waiting period, Henry VIII never took another mistress, something he was well known for prior. After producing a daughter and a still born, Henry lost interest in Anna, giving into fictitious rumours about her, and his thirst for a son. Henry VIII had her beheaded when Elizabeth was 2 years old so he could marry again, to Jane Seymour, who did give him a son, Edward VI.
