  1. The English Reformation

  2. What role did Henry VIII play in the Protestant Reformation? He made England a Protestant country to fulfill his own agenda; not for religious reasons! King Henry VIII

  3. Tudor Dynasty Henry VII Henry VIII Edward VI Lady Jane Grey Mary I Elizabeth I Became king in 1509; 18 yrs old His brother Arthur died in 1502 at age 15 Arthur had been married to the Spanish princess Catherine of Aragon Henry VIIIB. 1491 – D. 1547

  4. Daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain Married Henry VIII in 1509; what about Arthur? 20 year marriage Suffered 4 miscarriages and several stillbirths Only 1 child lives-Mary (b. 1516) Catherine of Aragon

  5. “The King’s Great Matter” • Henry VIII wanted a male heir; Catherine was not able to have any more children • Why not just get a divorce? • Henry asked for an annulment based on Catherine’s marriage to Arthur. (Leviticus) • The pope refused to grant it. Why? The Holy Roman Emperor was Charles V…Catherine’s nephew.

  6. “The King’s Great Matter” • Affair – Anne Boleyn • 1529 – Henry VIII calls Parliament into session; they passed laws ending the pope’s power in England. • 1534 – Act of Supremacy • Made Henry VIII the head of the Church of England (Anglican Church). • Irony: Henry VIII had earned the title “Defender of the Faith” from the pope.

  7. Anne becomes pregnant with Henry’s child (1532) But…he’s still married to Catherine. Parliament legalizes his divorce in 1533. Anne Boleyn

  8. 1533- H8 marries Anne Boleyn and she gives birth to their child Another girl: Elizabeth Anne suffers 2 miscarriages Anne Boleyn is accused of adultery; imprisoned and later beheaded by sword in 1536. The charges against her were false! Anne Boleyn

  9. Tower of London

  10. Dissolution of the Monasteries • 1536-1539: H8 closed all English monasteries and seized wealth and land. • Catholic Church owned 20% of all land in England. • Greatly increased Henry’s wealth. • Led to massive poverty among monks and nuns.

  11. MAIN IDEA: • Even though Henry VIII makes England Protestant, it’s only for political and personal reasons, not religious ones. • Doesn’t actually change any church practices or doctrines.

  12. Henry married Jane Seymour 10 days after Anne’s execution. She gave birth to his only son, Prince Edward in 1537, but died 12 days later. Henry wanted more sons as insurance. Jane Seymour

  20. Mary and Philip II Married Philip in 1554. She was 38; he was 27 One-sided love/attraction Marriage was protested by many in England who didn’t want their country to simply become a satellite territory of Spain.

Throne passes to Elizabeth in 1558. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itHVWrhsRSc&list=PL27A94D6D1C42B984&index=3

  21. Queen Elizabeth I

  22. Elizabeth I (1558-1603) • Glorified as strongest female monarch in England’s history. • “Good Queen Bess” • Known for being tolerant and moderate in religious issues. • Reestablished Protestantism, but not too strict. • Her changes lasted-The Church of England (Anglican Church) is still in place today with the same policies she established.

  23. Elizabeth I • Elizabeth was 25 when crowned Queen. • Immediately pressured by her Council to marry and produce an heir. • She never does…the Tudor dynasty ends and the Stuart dynasty begins with her death in 1603. • Why not? • The Virgin Queen? • Greatest accomplishments: Defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588; England’s Golden Age
