"On 15 January 1535 Henry VIII finally broke off relations with the Pope, who had refused to grant him a divorce from his first wife, by formally declaring himself Supreme Head of the Church in England. This made it high treason for any of his subjects to deny this startling addition to the royal style....The king could--and did--execute Catholics for treason and burn Protestants for heresy." (BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE) The author analyzes the history of religious persecution in England.
