Well, it depends on how you want to look at it. He gained power in his own country and liberated himself from the spiritual influence of the Pope in Rome. Along with that power, he got the freedom to remarry thus securing his line with the ability to pursue having a male child. He also gain fiscally with the acquisition of the lands and wealth of the monasteries.
So he secured his divine right as King, made some money, and took all control of his romantic/reproductive life.

∙ 11y agoHenry benefited through his break with Rome because he put himself as the head of the Church therefore making himself more powerful to the people of England. He could also grant himself a divorce as the pope wouldn't allow it. The people of England would also trust him more as head of the Church and he would also receive money form the people who donated to the church, making himself richer in the process.
