What did King Henry VIII want to do that the pope didn't allow?

Explanation:

Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon were Roman Catholic, and the Church forbade divorce. Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church by naming himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England (thereby rejecting the Pope's authority), divorced Catherine, and married Anne Boleyn.

In March 1534 the Pope eventually made his decision. He announced that Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn was invalid. Henry reacted by declaring that the Pope no longer had authority in England. hope this helps you.
