1 THE English Reformation:
Aka “The Six Wives of Henry VIII” Henry VIII ( ): 2nd of the Tudor monarchs Had earlier been a conservative and critical of Lutheranism and reform Had supported Catholicism and the Pope: Defense of Seven Sacraments criticized Luther’s views The pope awarded Henry with the title “Defender of the Faith”

2 Reasons for the split: Henry sought an annulment from his wife, Catherine of Aragon, because she could not conceive a son Only one daughter, Mary, had survived out of five childbirths

3 He was also enamored with his mistress, Anne Boleyn
Henry believed that God was punishing him for having married his brother’s widow (a passage he referenced in the Book of Leviticus in the Bible) He had earlier received a papal dispensation allowing him to marry Catherine. Now he sought the annulment He was also enamored with his mistress, Anne Boleyn

4 The Politics: Pope Clement VII was unable to grant a papal dispensation after 1527 The army of HRE Charles V had just sacked Rome. Catherine of Aragon was Charles’ aunt. An annulment would make her an adulteress. Cardinal Wolsey, the English Archbishop working on behalf of Henry, ultimately failed to get papal approval. The pope was willing to have a hearing in Rome but Wolsey realized that such a hearing would not turn in Henry’s favor. Thomas Cranmer replaced Wolsey and convinced Henry in 1533 that he could divorce Catherine by breaking away from Rome. Henry and Anne secretly married in 1533 (she was already 6 months pregnant with Elizabeth)

5 Church of England (Anglican Church)
The Act of Supremacy (1534) made the king officially the head of the Church Catholic lands (about 25% of all land in England) were confiscated Doubled royal revenues which helped build up the military. Monasteries were closed down

6 Act of Succession (1534): All the king’s subjects had to take an oath of loyalty to the king as head of the Anglican Church Henry ordered the execution of Thomas More for refusing to take the oath.

7 Total: 6 Wives (2 survive)
Catherine of Aragon (divorces) Anne (beheaded) Jane Seymore (dies after childbirth) Anne of Cleves (annulled) Catherine Howard (beheaded) Catherine Parr (Henry was her 3rd husband) survived Henry

8 Anglican Beliefs: Statute of the Six Articles 1539
Anglican Church maintained most of the Catholic doctrines (e.g. the 7 sacraments, celibacy for clergy, and transubstantiation) despite its independence from Rome England moved towards Protestantism during his reign by adopting Calvinism New practices Clergy could marry Iconic images removed from churches Communion by the laity was expanded New doctrines Salvation by faith alone Denial of transubstantiation Only two sacraments: baptism and communion Edward’s (only son of Henry VIII) premature death in 1553 led to a religious struggle among Protestants and Catholics

9 Mary Tudor Daughter of Henry and Catherine of Aragon
Had earlier married Philip II, future heir to the Spanish throne Mary rescinded reformation legislation of Henry’s and Edward’s reign tries to reimpose Catholicism Marian exiles: Protestants fled England fearing persecution. 300 people executed including bishops and Archbishop Cranmer; her opponents called her “Bloody Mary”

10 Elizabeth I (r. 1558-1603) Daughter of Henry and Anne Boleyn
Catholics saw her as an “illegitimate” child and thus rejected her legitimacy regarding the throne Held strongly Protestant views Effectively oversaw the development of Protestantism in England she was a practical politician who carefully navigated a middle ground between Anglicanism and Protestantism

11 “Elizabethan Settlement”:
Elizabeth and Parliament required conformity to the Church of England but people were, in effect, allowed to worship Protestantism and Catholicism privately Anglican Church largely resembled Lutheranism Some church practices, including ritual, resembled Catholic practices. Book of Common Prayer instituted in 1559. Catholicism remained, especially among the gentry, but could not be practiced openly. Services were given in English Monasteries were not re-established. Clergy was allowed to marry. Everyone required to attend church services of the Anglican Church (fined if absent)

12 1563, Thirty-Nine Articles defined the creed of Anglican Church
Followed Protestant doctrine but vague enough to accommodate most of the English, except Puritans Some Catholics unsuccessfully plotted assassination attempts and invasions against Elizabeth. Sought to place Mary Stuart (Queen of Scots) on the throne. To remove the threat, Elizabeth agreed to the execution of Mary in 1587 Elizabeth’s long and successful reign place her among the greatest European rulers in European history.
