Defender of the Faith
/dɪˌfendər əv ðə ˈfeɪθ/
/dɪˌfendər əv ðə ˈfeɪθ/
- a title used by all kings and queens of England since the 16th century. The short form of the title's Latin translation, Fidei Defensor, is FD or FID DEF, and this appears on every British coin. The title was first given to King Henry VIII by Pope Leo X after Henry's defence of the Roman Catholic faith against the teachings of Martin Luther. But the title was taken away when England left the Roman Catholic Church. King Henry then asked the English Parliament to give him the same title with a different meaning: defender of the Church of England.
信仰捍卫者：自16世纪以来，英格兰所有国王和王后使用的头衔。标题的拉丁语翻译的缩写形式是Fidei Defensor，是FD或FID DEF，并且出现在每枚英国硬币上。在亨利捍卫罗马天主教信仰反对马丁·路德的教义之后，教皇利奥十世首次授予亨利八世国王头衔。但是，当英格兰离开罗马天主教堂时，这个称号被拿走了。亨利国王随后要求英国议会给予他相同的头衔，但含义不同：英格兰教会的捍卫者。
