Henry got excommunicated because he wanted to divorce Catherine and marry Anne Boleyn. One of the reasons is that Henry needed an heir to the throne and had only one child, a daughter. Catherine was getting old and could not really have any more children. Whilst that was happening Henry had a affair with Anne and she was then pregnant. So Henry went to the pope since he was a Catholic, to get divorced. But the pope said no because they had consummated the marriage (had sex after being married). But Henry said that he thought that Arthur, Henry's brother had already consummated with her but they hadn't. So Henry went on and built his own church (the church of England.) He had made himself head allowing him to do whatever he wanted. So he divorced Catherine (the only reason he was with her was to be in alliance to be with Spain.) He then married Anne, and for that reason he was excommunicated. But that was bad because he then had another DAUGHTER!
