Edward and Mary: Foreign Policy Mid-Tudor Crisis argument So far we have looked at the reasons Whitney Jones gives for there being a Mid-Tudor Crisis in government and foreign policy. Now we will look at the reasons he gives for there being a Mid-Tudor crisis in relation to religion. The turmoil of the English Reformation continued unabated in this period as England vacillated between the moderate reformism of Somerset, the radicalism of Northumberland, and the arid conservatism of Mary. The religious upheaval destabilised the roots of society and contributed to the rebellions witnessed in this period.

Edward and Mary: Government Revisionist argument The religious and economic strife of the period had deeper roots than traditionalists have suggested, and are in no way particular to this period.

Religion under Somerset Somerset = sympathetic to Protestantism but is sensitive and aware of the potential implications of radical religious change. Exiled Protestants returned to England from Europe and settled on the East Coast The Reform faction were in control of the Government, but English Bishops were split on whether to support further change Relaxation of censorship led to an increase in the number of pamphlets and writing against Catholicism At first, the government adopted a logical policy. A full scale enquiry into the state of the Church of England was launched. Measures were introduced to undo the 6 Articles of Religion Rules introduced that provided for services and Bibles to be in English Parliament 1547: Enact religious change, but did little more than underline what was already happening. The Chantries Act: abolished Chantries WAR WITH SCOTLAND ENDED 1549 Act of Uniformity: English as language of worship; congregation get body and blood; services along familiar lines and priests dressed and behaved as always. 1549 Book of Common Prayer: Arch Bishop Cranmer ‘master of vagueness’ Crisis – government poses danger to the monarch? Write answers on the board – factionalism, weak leadership (Lord Protectors for Edward)

Religion under Northumberland Protestant reformers continued to flood into England. Some were Calvinist. Northumberland was keen to support people with radical views. Opportunist or sealing his position? Conservatives lost their prominent positions e.g. Gardiner January 1552 Parliament: Treason Act; Act of Uniformity Book of Common Prayer 1553 alters replaced with communion table attack on the wealth of the church Crisis – government poses danger to the monarch? Write answers on the board – factionalism, weak leadership (Lord Protectors for Edward)

Humanism under Edward There is no agreement on what people in England thought in relation to religion. Landowners tend to prefer Protestantism London had enthusiasm for Protestantism For many others it was acceptance rather than enthusiasm Uneducated did not like the disappearance of familiar ceremonies However, humanism was having a strong influence amongst the educated elite Had been flowering at Cambridge University Some of Erasmus’ work was translated into English Originally, humanism had not been ‘Catholic’ or ‘Protestant’, but by Edward’s reign some humanists were conservative in their theology. However, younger people were not and humanist ideas soon became linked with Protestantism. Humanism became linked with education Edward’s tutor (Richard Cox) was a humanist, Elizabeth’s tutors were also humanist Humanists were also keen to spread their knowledge This led to an explosion in printing – metrical psalms (psalms translated into English poetry and set to hymn tunes) Clergy published theological books e.g. Sermon of the Plough Crisis – government poses danger to the monarch? Write answers on the board – factionalism, weak leadership (Lord Protectors for Edward)

Religion under Mary Aim of Mary was to reinstate Catholicism (brought up as a Catholic) Parliament 1553 First Act of Repealed reversed religious change to when Edward became King Parliament 1554 Pole is back (Papal legate and will become Arch Bishop of Cantebury) Second Act of Repeal – reversed religion to 1529 Feb 1555 – Heresy Act which led to the death of roughly 300 Protestants Those who would not renounce their faith were burnt at the stake Cranmer was burnt at the stake, but so were ordinary people Cranmer’s death was significant because he had been the guidance force behind the introduction of Protestantism Mary did not want him executed but had no choice – Cranmer recanted but stood by his Protestantism Mary saw the burning as necessary to cleanse the country of Protestant heresy Her advisors were less convinced… Those burnt became heroes and was used by Protestant’s who has fled as propaganda However, it is careful not to exaggerate the effects of the burnings e.g. little evidence of strong reactions beyond London. Crisis – government poses danger to the monarch? Write answers on the board – factionalism, weak leadership (Lord Protectors for Edward)

Source Extract Plan TASK: Underline the key arguments in this extract There is obviously something to be said for the view that the years 1536 to 1558 were a period of crisis for the people of England. These years saw unprecedented rapid changes in religion, arguably the two areas which affected most intimately the lives of ordinary Englishmen. Historians are now emphasising the profound psychological shocks which these upheavals must have meant for hundreds of thousands of men and women who had been accustomed to much less volatile conditions. It is doubtful, on the other hand, if the Tudor State was ever in quite such serious difficulties as the word ‘crisis’ implies. It was occupied successively by a sick and rapidly aging bully, a boy who was too young to rule and a woman with limited political abilities. In these circumstances what is significant and remarkable is not the weakness of government but its relative strength. Get students to write on their tables?
