The Act of Supremacy, also known as the Act in Restraint of Appeals, was a piece of legislation passed by the English Parliament in 1534. It declared King Henry VIII to be the supreme head of the Church of England, replacing the Pope as the ultimate authority in spiritual matters.
This act was a significant event in English history, as it marked the beginning of the English Reformation, a movement that would eventually lead to the establishment of the Church of England as a separate entity from the Roman Catholic Church.
The act was passed in response to Henry VIII's desire to have his marriage to Catherine of Aragon annulled. The Pope had refused to grant the annulment, and Henry saw this as an opportunity to break with Rome and assert his own authority. He sought the support of the English Parliament, which passed the Act of Supremacy in 1534.
The act was not without controversy, as many people in England remained loyal to the Pope and opposed Henry's break with Rome. There was also resistance from within the clergy, as some members of the Church opposed the idea of a monarch being the supreme head of the Church.
Despite this opposition, the Act of Supremacy was widely accepted and cemented Henry's position as the head of the Church of England. It also paved the way for the English Reformation, which would bring about significant changes to the Church and society in England.
The Act of Supremacy remains an important piece of legislation in English history, as it marked a significant shift in the relationship between the Church and the state and helped to shape the Church of England as we know it today.
