Timeline of Henry VIII's Break with Rome

Source A: Extract from a historical overview

'Henry VIII's decision to break from the Catholic Church was a gradual process influenced by political, personal, and religious factors. It culminated in 1534 when the Act of Supremacy declared Henry as the Supreme Head of the Church of England.'

Source B: Excerpt from a historian's analysis

'The break was primarily driven by Henry's desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which the Pope refused to grant. This led Henry to seek independence from papal authority and establish his own church.'
