What date did Henry VIII convert to protestantism?

One is getting a little of the , in this case Royal carriage before the horses. First of all Henry Viii did not ( they all say this) intend to found a new church. He was originally a Roman Catholic and was adamantly opposed to Lutheranism- then taking fire in central and Germanic Europe. It just so happened that Henry Viii penned a little Latin tome defending the seven sacraments ( a major theological issue of the time was that only a few sacraments- for example Baptism and Communion-0r the Lord"s Supper- could be directly traced to the Bible- and there were and even now are hundreds of variations of Masses, for example, and dedications of a religious nature- that could be considered sacraments or rites by extending the term. ( this still is true in Catholicism there are dedications for such things as Bridges, Seismographs, etc- Blessings ( usually out of the church) for Animals, etc- these are NOT sacraments. anyhow, Henry was honored by the Pope (Leo X) and given the title of Defender of the Faith- which has been emblazoned on British Coins ever since- Fidei Defensor- the Latin spelling used- this title is still in circulation. Henry did not break with the Roman church until his Love Life got inthe way- specifically the divorce of his first, Spanish, wife Katharine of Aragon- that was the last straw, essentially the Divine Right of Kings- here Henry- versus the Vatican. well, in a way, both won out. the Fidei Defensor motto is still on the coins and the Tudor motto of (Dieu et Mon Droit) (God and My Right) is proudly emblazoned above the tomb of Queen Elizabeth I, his daughter, so. That"s the First Epsicopalian" legacy. Henry never described himself as an Episcopalian, by the way.
