Yeah, he was always sore that Francois was awarded the title ‘Defender of the Faith’ by the Pope.

A title ironically that Henry held for awhile after writing and publishing his own Defense of the Seven Sacraments, an energetic condemnation of Luther. Henry was never really a Protestant. A scheming and greedy megalomaniac who wanted the monastic lands and riches in his pocket? Yes. Protestant in the manner of Luther, Calvin, or even his weakling son Edward and occasionally treated as a bastard daughter Elizabeth? No.

FWIW, Henry received the same “Defender of the Faith” title by Pope in 1521.
