    I agree with this view that Henry VIII was responsible for the English foreign policy failures in the years 1509-1529, and this is because he was too keen to establish his presence in international affairs and believed that he had to demonstrate his strengths to his subjects. This way of thought was due to his peaceful rise to the throne and because of his confident personality; Henry wanted to win victories on the battlefield and wanted to establish his image of a Renaissance warrior.

    The Reformed Church of Paris wrote to Protestant leaders in Switzerland to provide detailed information on the attacks at Rue Saint-Jacques. In this report, it can easily be seen that the Protestants were in great fear of the Catholics because upon being attacked, they were urged to recant their faith in the Reformed Church or face the penalty of being burned to death (55). The fear that Protestants had towards Catholics was common and fairly understandable considering that they were forced to worship outside city walls or practice their faith in secret. Additionally, many of their services were ended by being attacked by Catholics or Catholic supported troops. The Protestants, like Jean de Pas, saw the wrongs in the Roman Catholic Church and chose to convert to the reformed church because of this.…
