Who were the first people to get divorced in Western* Christendom?

Question

*By Western Christendom I mean non-Orthodox, non pagan, non-schismatic, non-Muslim controlled societies. So everywhere from Lagos to Lapland. By divorce, I mean that the law recognises that two people used to be in a legally valid marriage, but are no longer married. So, eg Henry Tudor doesn't count, because his marriage to Catherine of Aragon was annulled, and therefore (retroactively) never legally valid in the first place. Or according to the Vatican's perspective at the time, he was legally married to her until she died, and was therefore a bigamist. Edit: Oh, and I know divorce existed in Roman times. I'm taking about Christan Europe after 1000 AD.

Answer 1

I have no idea, maybe this is something you can Google. In the case of Henry Tudor, Henry VIII, and his wife Catherine of Aragon, the pope would not grant him a divorce, as Catherine was the pope's aunt, if I recall correctly, and so Henry started his own church, the Church of England, or, the Anglican Church, which became the Episcopal Church in America. As Henry made himself the head of the new church, he granted himself an annulment and then married the rest of his wives, one by one.
