  1. The English Reformation Chapter 11 – Renaissance and Reformation Part IV

  2. Henry VIII…the girls want to see him and the guys want to be him!

  3. The English Reformation • England was a likely breeding ground for Protestantism, but its adavance was slow. • England had a reputation for maintaining the authority of the crown against the pope • There were already many secret Protestants. • Lollardy and Humanism also were influences.

  4. Henry VIII • Initially supported the Pope against Luther. • Was given the title…”Defender of the Faith” • He was a conservative man who was deeply spiritual • His main concern was to continue the dynasty since there were rival claimants

  5. The King’s Affair….. Henry was married to Catherine of Aragon, the aunt of the Holy Roman Emperor They had been married for 18 years, and after several miscarriages, had 1 daughter, Mary, survive to adulthood.

  6. The King’s Affair Henry was convinced that his marriage was cursed by god because Catherine had been engaged to Henry’s brother before he died. Catherine claimed that the marriage was never consumated and she instead married Henry. The pope gave them special permission to marry.

  7. The King’s Affair…. He wanted an annulment in order to marry Anne Boleyn (his mistress) The pope refused to grant the annulment. This infuriated Henry who was angry that the pope was interfering in matters of the country.

  8. The King’s Affair….. It was suggested that he declare himself supreme in English spiritual affairs, which would solve his problem. He could then give himself the annulment

  9. “Reformation Parliament” • In 1529 Parliament convened for what would be a seven year session. • Passed legislation that eventually put the clergy under the authority of the king. • January 1531, the king was made officially the head of the church in England. • 1532, published official grievances against the church. • 1534, ended all payments to Rome and gave Henry sole jurisdiction over ecclesiastical appointments. • The same year the Act of Supremacy declared Henry “The only supreme head of the Church of England.” • Despite these changes, Henry did not make many concessions to Protestant sensibilities, retaining most of the ritual and doctrinal trappings of Catholicism.

  10. Edward VI • When Henry died, his 10 year old son , Edward VI, took over the throne. • Ruled under several regencies. • Enacted a series of reforms, bringing the Church of England more in line with Protestant England. • In 1553 Edward died, leaving his Catholic half-sister Mary as queen. She quickly reversed the reforms.
