During the English Reformation why wasn't there more resistance against Henry VIII's break with the Catholic Church? Why did Parliament go along with it so easily? It seems like there was more resistance to Brexit than Henry's decision to leave a 1000 year old church.

How knowledgeable would the Romans, Greeks, Carthagians, etc. have been about the geography of Sub-Saharan Africa? Did they know about coastal west Africa, the Congo rainforest, or the African Great lakes? What about even further south?
