1.Why was the king not happy with William Tyndale?
The king was not happy because he did not want the people to read the Bible in English. (He wanted to have power over what people thought about Christianity. He knew that when people read the Bible for themselves they could decide for themselves.
He was right because once people did read the translated Bible, they started arguing with the traditional way of understanding it.)

He was put in prison and later killed.
