The Anglicans in Great Britain broke with the Catholic Church. Henry VIII had been unable to produce a male heir to the British throne with his wife Catherine of Aragon. He wanted to annul his marriage to her so he could marry another but the pope refuse to annul his original marriage. Henry then broke with Rome and formed the Church of England, naming himself as head of the Church in that country. He then, basically, granted himself a divorce and married a series of other women over the years, none of which produced a male offspring. He was, of course, excommunicated from the Catholic Church. A number of years of Catholic persecutions followed.
