2.  Henry Ⅷ
【正确答案】 Henry Ⅷ(1491—1547) was an English king who had married six times. He introduced Protestantism and launched the English Reformation as his request to divorce his first wife Catherine of Aragon had not been agreed by the Roman Pope Clement Ⅶ. As a result, the Church of England was established independently as the national church and Britain got freedom from the Roman Catholic Church. Moreover, Henry Ⅷ became the supreme head of the Church of England and strengthened the power of the monarch.
