    In this document, Elizabeth included extreme punishments for not following the new order of service for her Protestant services because to undermine her in this religious aspect was to undermine her legitimacy and power as an authority on the throne. Elizabeth believed in the concept of divine right, and she then also followed the older notion of quius regio, quius religio, where the religion of the ruler was the religion of the people. One of the main reasons why Elizabeth attempted to unify the nation early during her rule was due to the intense rivalry between Catholics and Protestants that was caused by the swift and dramatic shift to break away from the Catholic Church under Henry VIII, and a return to the Church under his daughter, Mary. This Act of Uniformity was one of several political moves to unify England under Elizabeth’s control and for the nation to respect her legitimacy and authority as a divinely placed monarch on England’s…

I knew there were numerous vital individuals covered at Westminster, yet I never could have envisioned exactly what number of there really were. It is fairly stunning that Isaac Newton, Shakespeare, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Mary I, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Charles Darwin, George Frederick Handel (without any end in sight… ) are all inside of the same dividers. The Abbey is likely the most essential entombment place on the planet.…

    History Script Introduction: Mary, Queen of Scots (also known as Mary Stuart), lived between 1542 and 1587. She was the only child of James V of Scotland and Mary of Guise, and through her grandmother Margaret Tudor, Mary had the strongest claim to the throne of England after the children of Henry VIII. This claim (and her Roman Catholicism) made Mary a threat to Elizabeth I of England (who was a protestant), as many English Catholics wanted Mary on the throne in the place of Elizabeth. Elizabeth had her executed after holding her captive for 19 years. However, Mary's son, James VI of Scotland, succeeded Elizabeth to the English throne as James I, as Elizabeth never married or had any children of her own.…

    The era between the death of Henry VIII and the excommunication of Elizabeth by the papacy was one consumed by the debate of what the Church of England should looks like. Edward VI was a Protestant,and he made strides to define the Church of England as a Protestant church, instead of leaving the church as mostly Catholic in practice like his father had. Mary I, on the other hand, tried to revert England back to Catholicism. And finally, Elizabeth I started her reign by being diplomatic, careful not to lean on Protestantism or Catholicism too much, but as she spent more time as the monarch she became more and more Protestant and her policies illuminated that shift. Each monarch contributed to the religious debate that had taken over England,…
