why did henry set up his own church?

Answer 1

Henry VIII broke away from Rome (& the Catholic church) because he wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon and remarry since *she* hadn't managed to produce a male heir.

"However, more pressing issues arose in Henry's personal life. When he sought to nullify his first marriage to Catherine of Aragon because of the lack of a male heir, it was clear that Rome would not support him, so in 1531, Henry broke with the Catholic Church and set up a (Protestant) National Church in England under his supreme leadership. The dissolution of the monasteries from 1536 to 1540, because the crown and the gentry wanted more lands, provoked the northern rising of 1536 to 1537, known as the Pilgrimage of Grace. This rising, in fact, was the only real threat posed to Henry's security. That conflict ended in 1539 when the orthodox Act of Six Articles clarified the true faith and worked to balance extreme factions."
