Lover - Episode 3 | Henry - Mind Of A Tyrant | BBC Documentary

Henry began to pursue Anne Boleyn in early 1526 and as lust turned to love, he conceived the idea of marrying her - but that required a Papal annulment of his marriage to Katherine. A six-year struggle with Rome caused Henry to re-think the nature of the English monarchy, and he came to believe that the King, not the Pope, should rule the Church in England.
