Put a man who murders and divorces his wives in charge of the Church, and eventually it comes down to this.

Constantine the Great?

FWIW, Constantine may have thought he was in charge of the Church, but he wasn’t. The Emperors, and later the Holy Roman Emperors, fought it out with the Popes for centuries as to who was in charge of the Church. The Emperors lost.

Regretably, however, Henry VIII won.
