Best Answer

Henry VIII was competitive and vain, and other Kings at the time had titles, such as King Charles being 'The Catholic King'. After Henry wrote his 'Assertio Septem Sacramentorum' (Defence of the Seven Sacraments) in response to Luther's criticisms, the Pope finally gave into Henry's vanity and gave him the title 'Fidei Defensor' (Defender of the faith).
