Answer 1

This is a crucial subject when studying the Tudor/Stuart period. As I'm not sure of the level of your understanding with regard to this subject I suggest the following website

Have a look at Henry VIII, The Disolution and The Reformation, Mary I, Elizabeth I, James I and then the section on scientific and social advances for this period. It will provide you with a good undertanding of the period and no doubt answer some of your questions.

Answer 2

Badbear is right the Tudor and Stuart dynasties were in continuous struggles over the issue of religion. Even the wars with Spain had religious issues entwined with them as well.

The succession of Elizabeth had to do with protestant fears of Queen Mary. The English Civil War was fought over both religion, the thought was Charles I would try to reestablish Catholicism, and over who should be the leading governmental authority Parliament or the King. The Protestants and particularly the Puritans lined up on the side of Parliament, this was the camp that Oliver Cromwell came out of.

Answer 3

It totally revolutionized it. Henry Tudor, aka Henry VIII, is the one who broke with the Catholic church because they wouldn't grant him a divorce from Katherine of Aragon. Needless to say, this did not endear him to most of Europe, which was fervently Catholic. Also by divorcing her, he alienated Spain, her home country, which eventually led to the Spanish Armada against Elizabeth I, his daughter. They were trying to install his first daughter, Mary I (aka Bloody Mary) on the throne, because she was Catholic (she was his daughter by Katherine of Aragon, so when he divorced her, he also decided Mary was illiegitimate, so Elizabeth took the throne).

Also, when Henry established the Church of England, he burned the Catholic churches and seized all their property. I'd say that was a pretty large impact, since before this, the entire country was Catholic, and afterward, they were required to join the Church of England.

Answer 4

Big time. Henry VIII went from Defender of the Faith to the AntiChrist. He took over the church lands to give as favors to his friends. He started the first invasion of Ireland--more followed. And the back and forth of religions led many to move to the colonies.

Answer 5

gracious, Heidi. You must be starting from scratch on Tudor history. It was the biggest issue of the time, saving only a bit of war with Spain.

Answer 7

Tremendously! Because of Henry's VIII's desire to rule England without regard to the Catholic Church's rules, he created the Church of England where he could rule both church and England.
