| 275 | through an illegitimate line, and Edmund Tudor, the son of Princess

| 280 | VI, but their reign ended when Richard III was killed at the battle of
|

|

| 325 | <font face="Arial,Helvetica">The Tudors were able to establish

| 326 | England as a world power.&nbsp; They did so by positioning their
|
---|
| 327 | country as a peace-maker between the dueling powers of France and
|
---|
| 328 | Spain/the Holy Roman Empire.&nbsp; They also gave England a century of

---|
| 330 | reign and Catholic attempts to place Mary, queen of Scots on Elizabeth
|
---|
| 331 | I's throne, most Tudor monarchs came to the throne - and remained on
|
---|
| 332 | the throne - unchallenged.&nbsp; This lengthy period of peace allowed
|
---|
| 333 | England a much-needed respite from the Lancastrian-Yorkist wars.&nbsp;
|
---|
| 334 | Government ran more efficiently; royal power replaced that of
|
---|
| 335 | aristocrats and there was a uniform system of justice and taxation
|
---|
| 336 | throughout the country.&nbsp; And, as always in times of peace, the

|
---|
| 342 | give me a brief history of Tudor England?</font></b> <br>
|
---|
| 343 | <font face="Arial,Helvetica">Tudor England began when Henry VII
|
---|
| 344 | became king in 1485.&nbsp; There were five Tudor monarchs, not counting
|
---|
| 345 | Lady Jane Grey who ruled for just nine days.&nbsp; The monarchs were,
|
---|
| 346 | in order, Henry VII (ruled from 1485 to 1509), his son Henry VIII
|
---|
| 347 | (ruled from 1509 to 1547), Edward VI, son of Henry VIII (ruled from
|
---|
| 348 | 1547 to 1553), Mary I, daughter of Henry VIII (ruled from 1553 to
|
---|
| 349 | 1558), and Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII (ruled from 1558 to
|
---|
| 350 | 1603.)&nbsp; The most powerful Tudor monarchs were Henry VIII and
|
---|
| 351 | Elizabeth I, though she was far more beloved of the English
|
---|
| 352 | people.&nbsp; Both were powerful personalities who were able to control
|
---|
| 353 | their squabbling councilors and answer the demands of an increasingly
|
---|
| 354 | vocal Parliament.&nbsp; Under Henry VII, the English government came to
|
---|
| 355 | be more stabilized and centralized.&nbsp; Under Henry VIII, English
|
---|
| 356 | authority was tested on the Continent, though even military victories
|
---|
| 357 | were too costly to maintain.&nbsp; A great victory over Scotland early
|
---|
| 358 | in his reign (1513) was most notable; the attendant confusion of its
|
---|
| 359 | northern neighbor was beneficial for England.&nbsp; Henry VIII's
|
---|
| 360 | desperate quest for a legitimate heir led to <a
|
---|
| 361 | href="_httpextlink_&amp;rl=1&amp;href=http:%2f%2fenglishhistory.net%2ftudor%2ffaq.html#Eleven-b">the
|
---|
| 362 | Reformation</a>; this was the end of the Catholic church's authority in
|
---|
| 363 | England.&nbsp; The king, unable to obtain an annulment, declared
|
---|
| 364 | himself Supreme Head of a new English church.&nbsp; He also sold or
|
---|
| 365 | destroyed most church property in England.&nbsp; His son, Edward VI,
|
---|
| 366 | was just a child when he inherited the throne but already known for his
|
---|
| 367 | piety and serious nature.&nbsp; His councilors continued to strengthen
|
---|
| 368 | the Protestant state, but their plans were dashed when Edward died at
|
---|
| 369 | 16 years of age.&nbsp; An attempt to place his Protestant cousin, Lady
|
---|
| 370 | Jane Grey, on the throne instead of the Catholic Princess Mary
|
---|
| 371 | failed.&nbsp; Mary was declared queen to great acclaim; she was
|
---|
| 372 | originally very popular even with the Protestants.&nbsp; But a policy
|
---|
| 373 | of religious persecution, a hated marriage with Philip of Spain, and
|
---|
| 374 | bad agricultural conditions (as well as the debt she had inherited from
|
---|
| 375 | her father and brother) soon made Mary broken-hearted and
|
---|
| 376 | disliked.&nbsp; She was succeeded by her half-sister, Elizabeth, who
|
---|
| 377 | was a religious pragmatist and passionately devoted to her
|
---|
| 378 | country.&nbsp; Elizabeth's policy of toleration was extended to both
|
---|
| 379 | the religious and political spheres.&nbsp; Above all else, she avoided
|
---|
| 380 | extremism at all costs.&nbsp; She often prevaricated over major
|
---|
| 381 | decisions, unwilling to commit to an action before all diplomatic
|
---|
| 382 | attempts failed.&nbsp; This infuriated many of her advisors, but it
|
---|
| 383 | also gave her country the religious and political peace it needed to
|
---|
| 384 | thrive.&nbsp; Her reign was marked by the great victory over the
|
---|
| 385 | Spanish Armada in 1588, the artistic achievements of men such as
|
---|
| 386 | Shakespeare and Bacon, and English exploration and colonization of

|
---|
| 537 | was the Reformation?</font></b> <br>
|
---|
| 538 | <font face="Arial,Helvetica">The Reformation refers to a period
|
---|
| 539 | in the early 16th century in which the Roman Catholic Church was
|
---|
| 540 | challenged by a new form of Christianity collectively known as
|
---|
| 541 | Protestantism.&nbsp; The Catholic Church was both a religious and
|
---|
| 542 | political institution; by the 16th century, corruption was widespread
|
---|
| 543 | and many Christians were disappointed in the excesses and abuses of
|
---|
| 544 | church leaders.</font> <br>
|
---|
| 545 | <font face="Arial,Helvetica">The Reformation began in 1517 when a
|
---|
| 546 | German priest named Martin Luther posted his Ninety-five Theses on the
|
---|
| 547 | door of a royal church in Wittenberg.&nbsp; Luther did not want to
|
---|
| 548 | start a new religion; he merely wanted to reform the papacy.&nbsp;
|
---|
| 549 | However, a few years later, Pope Leo X excommunicated him.&nbsp;
|
---|
| 550 | Luther's main philosophical idea was 'justification by faith', the idea
|
---|
| 551 | that salvation is granted as a gift through God's grace and not through
|
---|
| 552 | a priestly intermediary.&nbsp; He also advocated marriage for the
|
---|
| 553 | clergy.&nbsp; His ideas were revolutionary and scandalous, but also
|
---|
| 554 | very popular.&nbsp; They represented an attempt to bring religious
|
---|
| 555 | faith back to the people and end long-standing corruption within the
|
---|
| 556 | church.&nbsp; But the doctrine of 'justification by faith' also sharply
|
---|
| 557 | curtailed the church's power over spirituality, making it a matter of
|
---|
| 558 | personal debate and belief.&nbsp; As Lady Jane Grey, the Nine Days'
|
---|
| 559 | Queen of England, wrote of her Protestant faith in 1554, 'I ground my
|
---|
| 560 | faith upon God's word, and not upon the church....&nbsp; The faith of
|
---|
| 561 | the church must be tried by God's word, and not God's word by the
|
---|
| 562 | church; neither yet my faith.'</font> <br>
|
---|
| 563 | <font face="Arial,Helvetica">In England, the Reformation was
|
---|
| 564 | mainly associated with Henry VIII's attempts to annul his marriage to
|
---|
| 565 | Katharine of Aragon.&nbsp; When the papacy refused to annul their union
|
---|
| 566 | due to the political pressure of Katharine's nephew, Holy Roman Emperor
|
---|
| 567 | Charles V, Henry was outraged.&nbsp; He spent several years attempting
|
---|
| 568 | to persuade the pope to change his mind.&nbsp; In the end, he simply
|
---|
| 569 | declared himself Supreme Head of the Church of England and confiscated
|
---|
| 570 | all church lands and money in his country.&nbsp; This is known to
|
---|
| 571 | history as 'the dissolution of the monasteries.' &nbsp;However, Henry
|
---|
| 572 | VIII remained a spiritual Catholic; he disliked Luther's ideas and was
|
---|
| 573 | never a Protestant himself.&nbsp; He simply rejected Roman Catholic
|
---|
| 574 | influence in England.&nbsp; But he had unwittingly opened up the door
|
---|
| 575 | to dramatic changes.&nbsp; From 1533 onwards, the influence of the
|
---|
| 576 | Roman Catholic Church in England declined while the new ideas of the
|
---|
| 577 | Reformation began to slowly gain adherents.&nbsp; The resulting
|
---|
| 578 | religious convulsions would consume most of Europe for the entire
|
---|
| 579 | century.&nbsp; In Tudor England, the conflict between the old faith and
|
---|
| 580 | the new consumed its rulers.&nbsp; Henry VIII was a lapsed Catholic;
|
---|
| 581 | his successor Edward VI was a devout Protestant; his successor Mary I
|
---|
| 582 | was a devout Catholic; her successor Elizabeth I was, understandably
|
---|
| 583 | enough, a religious pragmatist.&nbsp; However, she came into conflict
|
---|
| 584 | with her Catholic cousin, Mary, queen of Scots.</font> <br>
