Which of the following actions is Henry VIII most famously known for?

Henry VIII's reign in the 16th century was a pivotal time in English history, largely because of his rather complicated personal life. While he certainly engaged in other activities, like building up the English navy, he's most remembered for his six marriages. This wasn't just about romance; it was about securing a male heir to the throne. His first wife, Catherine of Aragon, failed to produce a surviving son, which led Henry to seek an annulment from the Pope. When the Pope refused, Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and established the Church of England, with himself as its head, so he could grant himself a divorce. He then married Anne Boleyn, followed by Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and finally, Catherine Parr. While he did eventually have a son, Edward VI, the drama and political upheaval caused by his multiple marriages are what truly cemented his place in history. So, while he may have enjoyed horse racing, and only had one son, it's the six wives that really define his legacy.
