who started the reformation in england?\njohn calvin\nhenry viii\nmartin luther\njohn wycliffe
Answer
Brief Explanations:
The English Reformation was initiated by Henry VIII. His desire for an annulment of his marriage (which the Catholic Church refused) led him to break away from Rome. He passed laws like the Act of Supremacy (1534) making himself the head of the Church of England. John Calvin was a key figure in the Reformed tradition in Continental Europe. Martin Luther started the Protestant Reformation in Germany with his 95 Theses. John Wycliffe was an English theologian in the 14th century, a forerunner of some Reformation - like ideas but not the starter of the English Reformation in the 16th century sense.
Answer:
Henry VIII
