What are the landless states

An English king had a disagreement with the pope.

Explanation:

The Anglican Reformation or English reform is a series of events that occurred in England in the 16th century that culminated in the separation of the Church of England and the Catholic Church and the emancipation of papal authority. It is part of the Protestant reform that occurred in many countries in Europe.

The trigger for the English Reformation was the desire of King Henry VIII to obtain the annulment of his marriage. What began as a political and non-theological dispute had profound political and theological consequences. After the separation of Rome, by the Act of Royal Supremacy, the monarch became supreme head of the Church of England, which became an independent national Church of Rome.
