(ii).  Personal Union of England and Wales (1534-1536).

In 1534, King Henry VIII, was refused a divorce from the Pope.  Henry then decided to break with Rome, and found his own church.  The Church of England (today know as Church of England, Anglican Churhc, Episcopalian (in the USA, and Scotland) was thus created in 1534.  Since Henry was of Welsh blood, he took power over both England and Wales in Personal Union.  Henry confiscated all Roman Catholic Church Lands (well 90%) in England and Wales, and transfered them to the Church of England.

In 1536, the Act of Union of 1536, formal merged the Parliamentary Powers of England and Wales, whose seat of parliament is todays British House of Commons.  Thus, the Personal Union lasted only two years (1534-1536), and the formal Legislative Union of England and Wales lasts to this day.
