When henry vill wanted a divorce from his wife, catherine of aragon, what did he do?

He broke with the Roman Catholic church when Catherine would not give him a divorce after 24 years of marriage. There were two reasons - he wanted a male heir and he had become in love with Anne Boleyn, a member of the court. This began the Church of England and the reformation in England.

He began the Dissolution of the Monasteries and churches, sometimes referred to as the Suppression of the Monasteries. This was a set of administrative and legal processes between 1536 and 1541 which Henry VIII disbanded Catholic monasteries, priories, convents and friaries in England, Wales and Ireland, he then appropriated their wealth, disposed of their buildings by selling or using to build his own buildings. Although the policy was originally envisaged as increasing the regular income of the Crown, much of the former monastic property was sold off to fund Henry's military campaigns circa 1540s. He was given the authority to do this in England and Wales by the "Act of Supremacy", which he forced though Parliament in 1534. This made him Supreme Head of the Church in England, therefore separating England/Wales from the previous Papal authority, and by the First Suppression Act (1536) and the Second Suppression Act (1539).
