Objectives:
To recall the main differences between Tudor
monarch religious beliefs.
To consider which changes were the most
significant.
Background
• During the Tudor era there were major changes in religion;
– back and forth...
• Each new monarch made changes - one year England would be
Protestant, the next year Catholic.
• Some historians now think that for the normal people there weren't
that many changes - but those who believed really strongly in their
religion, such as Puritans (strong Protestants) and strong Catholics,
there were serious arguments.
• One way to remember the changes is to imagine a roller coaster...
