what religion was henry the eighths three children?

Answer 1

King Edward V1 was Protestant, Queen Mary was Catholic, Queen Elizabeth 1 was Protestant

Answer 2

I don't think Henry had real fertility problems. I don't think he was particularly fertile either I think that what Henry suffered from was difference of age at the wrong times. Catherine was 24 when she finally married Henry and although that seems young now for a women expected to bear children at the time half of her time was gone. Catherine did bear Henry several children including sons but many were either still born or died with a couple of Months not uncommon among women of the time. Henry's mother only has three children to live pass there 18 birthday so for Catherine to produce one in half the time suggests there was not a lot wrong with ether parent. The same also happened to Anne Boleyn. The delays in acquiring the divorce meant that Anne was 26 or possible older when she married Henry. this meant she had already gone past her most fertile years and also had the added pressure that if she did not produce a son she would end up cast off like Catherine in fact she was nearly right except from her fate was worst. By the time of the Kings last marriages he was far older and in declining health his fertility was probably down and his capability of fulfilling the required act was probably reduced which is why neither later wife succeeded producing and heir.

Answer 3

Edward VI was Protestant--it was in his reign that the Church of England (called Anglican in most countries but Episcopal in the U. S.) was really formed. The Book of Common Prayer, still used today (with revisions) was written during his reign.

Mary I was a dyed-in-the-wool Catholic. It was her efforts to return England to the Roman Catholic Church that earned her the epithet Bloody Mary.

Elizabeth had Catholic leanings but knew that she needed to be a Protestant to hold the throne. When messengers came to her to tell her that her sister Mary was dead and she, Elizabeth, was now Queen, she fell to her knees and quoted Scripture (a Protestant sort of act) but quoted in Latin (more Catholic).She tried to tolerate Catholics in her kingdom until the Pope proclaimed that she was illegitimate and that no good Catholic could acknowledge her as Queen. She preferred unmarried clergy and was very hard to pin down regarding her views on Transsubstantiation.

Answer 4

Although Henry VIII severed links with the Roman Catholic Church, Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, during the reign of Edward VI, first established Protestantism in England. Mary Tudor, the daughter of Katherine of Aragon, was Roman Catholic, but her half-siblings, Edward VI and Elizabeth, were Anglican.

Early in Elizabeth's reign, the Reformation Bill (1559) confirmed Elizabeth as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. Also in 1559, the Act of Uniformity enforced attendance of Anglican Sunday Services in England and the use of a new edition of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. Ministers could now marry, and the host no longer changed to Christ's blood, but royal injunctions stressed conformity with a Roman Catholic past, ordering ministers to wear surplices and provide their parishioners with wafers rather than bread during Communion. Above all, Elizabeth was a pragmatist not overly concerned with religious matters.

Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth first cousin, once removed, was a Roman Catholic; however, her son, James I of England and VI of Scotland, was a Protestant.

Answer 5

King Edward V1 became a staunch Protestant, and during his reign the Reformation progressed. He died of tuberculosis, and his will, probably prepared by Northumberland, set aside that of his father so as to exclude his half-sisters, Mary and Elizabeth, from the succession. He nominated Lady Jane Grey, a granddaughter of Henry VII, who had recently married Northumberland's son. Technically Jane reigned for nine days, and was deposed by Mary I.

Queen Mary was Catholic, ~ her mum Katharine of Aargon was Catholic. Mary Tudor was the daughter of Henry VIII and his first wife, Katherine of Aragon. After her younger brother, King Edward VI died, Mary became the first queen to rule England in her own right from 1553 to 1558. After the introduction of the Protestant faith during her brother's reign, Mary tried to return the country back to the Roman Catholic faith. She married King Philip II of Spain in 1554 to make an alliance with the Spanish empire.

Queen Elizabeth 1 was Protestant.
Elizabeth inherited the throne upon the death of her older half-sister, Mary I, in November 1558. England was at war, epidemics raged, trade was at a standstill and the country was heavily in debt. The enthusiasm that greeted 25-year-old Elizabeth's accession to the throne was more the result of a legitimate and peaceful succession than of any knowledge of her intentions. Mary I, like both her parents, was a Catholic, and she had spent much of her reign undoing the Protestant reforms of her half-brother Edward VI. Elizabeth was a Protestant, although not as fervent as Edward had been.

Elizabeth inherited a Catholic nation (the Church had been reconciled with Rome) and had to start all over again to restore the Protestant national church. She began by passing the Act of Supremacy in 1559, which made her the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and caused another break with Rome. The Act of Uniformity was brought in at the same time, making it law once again to use the Protestant service and enforcing the use of the third English Book of Common Prayer, which is still in use today. The Catholics among her subjects (and indeed the Catholic monarchies of Europe) regarded Elizabeth as illegitimate and therefore not the rightful queen, so she was particularly vulnerable to plots to overthrow her

Answer 6

Mary Queen of Scots and Mary Tudor were two different people. Mary Queen of Scots was Elizabeth I's cousin; she was Roman Catholic, and was beheaded by Elizabeth for being a traitor. She was NOT a child of Henry VIII.

Edward VI was the son of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour (no, not the lady from Dancing With the Stars, the real one). He was sickly and a regent had to govern for him. He died before reaching adulthood. The form of Protestantism established during his reign was Calvinistic and decidedly Low Church. Catholics were persecuted during his reign.

Mary Tudor was the oldest child of Henry VIII, the daughter of Catherine of Aragon, a Spanish princess. She was also a devout Roman Catholic. Protestants were persecuted during her reign.

Elizabeth Tudor, later Elizabeth I, was the Protestant (Anglican) daughter of Henry VIII and Ann Boleyn, the woman Henry married after divorcing Catherine of Aragon. Since she was considered a bastard by the Catholics, she had nothing to gain by joining that Church. However, she believed nothing would be gained by forbidding Catholics from practicing the religion they had been born into, as long as they were loyal to their queen. Her reign, while not particularly tolerant by today's standards, was mild compared to the excesses of Mary Tudor and Edward VI. It was considered the Golden Age of Britain for its economic, artistic, and political accomplishments.
