Notable events during his reign included thebreak with Rome, and the subsequent establishment of the independent Church of England, the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the union of England and Wales.
Several significant pieces oflegislation were enacted during Henry VIII's reign. They included the several Acts which severed the English Church from the Roman Catholic Church and established Henry as the head of the Church in England, theActs of Union 1536-1543 (which united England and Wales into one nation), the Buggery Act 1533 (the first anti-sodomy enactment in England), and the Witchcraft Act 1542 (which punished "invoking orconjuring an evil spirit" with death).
Henry is known to have been an avid gambler and dice player. He excelled at sport—especially royal tennis—during his youth. He was also an accomplishedmusician, author, and poet; according to legend, he wrote the popular folk song Green sleeves. He was also involved in the construction and improvement of several buildings, including King's College Chapel,Christ Church, Oxford, Hampton Court Palace, Nonsuch Palace and Westminster Abbey.
