Henry VII was married once, Henry VIII married the following:
Catherine of Aragon (Mother of Mary I) - marriage annulled
Anne Boleyn (Mother of Elizabeth I) - executed
Jane Seymour (Mother of Edward VI) - executed
Anne of Cleves - executed
Catherine Howard - executed
Catherine Parr - survived him
Seriously... check some facts, man. I count six wives there.
Take a trip to Leeds, the castle there has all kinds of facts about him, like for example: in addition to being an excellent horseman, he was also a top theologian. Quite right, quite right. Just make sure you clean up your bad marriages before you begin the new ones, right? Why did he even bother with divorce the first time? He could have just had her executed, and no problem with the pope...
And for the record, Luther founded the Lutheran church... not protestantism. The Calvanists don't have anything to do with Luther, nor does the Church of England, which is just as protestant (although it is a lot more like the Catholic Church) as the Lutherans. There were plenty of people who at one time or another protested Catholicism, the difference is they were unsuccessful and were called heretics and burned or whatever. The protestants had enough political support to survive.
