"Defenders of the Faith" is a title historically given to monarchs and leaders who have actively supported and defended a particular religion, often in the context of Christianity. The term is most famously associated with King Henry VIII of England, who received the title from Pope Leo X for his opposition to Martin Luther's teachings during the Protestant Reformation. The title signifies a commitment to uphold and protect the doctrines and practices of the faith against perceived threats or challenges. Over time, it has been used in various contexts, reflecting the ongoing struggle between different religious beliefs and the political power of those who champion them.
