During the Reformation, Henry VIII diminished the international power of the Roman Church by declaring himself the supreme head of the Church of England through the "Act of Supremacy." This was partly due to his desire to divorce Catherine of Aragon. He also closed monasteries and established King's Schools, some of which, like the one in Canterbury, remain open today.
Thomas More, a significant scholar, opposed Henry VIII's "Act of Supremacy." As a result, Henry VIII ordered his execution by beheading, highlighting the severe consequences for those who resisted the king's religious reforms.
