Anne Boleyn • Gives birth to Elizabeth • Executed over “alleged” adultery
Next Two Wives Jane Seymour Anne of Cleves • Henry marries her after Anne • She gives birth to Edward VI but she dies shortly after • Political marriage to get alliance with German princes • Henry found her repulsive and divorced her

How does England change? • Church of England is not subject to Catholic Church • King is head of secular and religious affairs so power increases • Very strong monarchy • Reformation spreads to England (will become the most powerful Protestant nation)
Catholic Reforms: How does the Catholic Church change? • Catholic Church’s goal is to stop the spread of Protestants • Reforms • Catholic schools • Missionaries – Jesuits • Indulgences were allowed but false selling was banned • Bible and Church traditions should guide life • Get to heaven through faith and good works
