I don't know about this -- I thought they WERE considered valid by the Vatican until recently (when the Anglicans started having women priests).

I am pretty sure they aren't or hadn't been because the King of England appointed bishops of their own liking, something reserved for Rome (at the time). Thus, Rome claims apostolic succession had been broken because of these political appointments (rather than apostolic succession). I know that converts from Anglicanism must go through another ordination if they desire to remain a priest.

Regards
