In late 1517, Martin Luther wrote Ninety-five theses, which were a collection of disputes and objections of what he deemed to be abuses by the Clergy; mainly with regards to indulgences. He then nailed this document to the door of All Saints church/or Castle Church, in Wittenburg. This event was later seen as the event which sparked the "Protestant Reformation".
Henry VIII appealed his petition to have his marriage from Katherine of Aragon, to Pope Clement VII, in 1525. He officially formed the Anglican church in 1534.
Although Luther's public criticism of and break from the Roman Catholic church came before Henry VIII formed the Anglican church, the two events, motives, or overall philosophies of Luther and Henry VIII, are in no way related, or even similar.
