What happened after Henry died?
1547 - Edward becomes king at age 10. Relies
on adults for advice. They are all Protestant
so England remains so. Only lives as King for 6
years.
1553 - Mary (1st marriage) rules. Takes the
country back to Catholicism. She is not liked
by the people. Dies in 5 years.
1558 - Elizabeth I changes England back to
Protestant. Reestablishes the Church of
England as the ONLY legal church. This will
cause problems in about 100 years.
