Needed special permission from the pope to marry sister-in-law. Henry wanted a divorce 18 years later, he needed a son and she"d only given him one daughter. Henry wants to annul the marriage, on the grounds that shes his sister in law. Catherine"s nephew is holding the pope hostage, pope already granted the marriage in the first place, says no. Lords suggest that henry become head of the english church, get the divorce, take control of church lands and appointments. Makes the anglican church, which must legitimize his new marriage, all subjects must swear new oaths to him as head of church. You don"t just go to hell now, you go to jail too. Those who didnt take the oath were executed. The anglican church is basically catholic, just no pope, king instead.
