Which eventually led up to England breaking away from traditional Roman Catholicism, known as at the English reformation. The English reformation began with Henry VIII summoning the reformation parliament in 1529. Henry VIII ruled from 1509 until he died in 1547. King Henry grew up as a good…

From the crumbling walls of the ancient authority of Rome, two new powers, the Church and western leaders, established their hold on the medieval world. Ushering in an age of population boom, business, and an interest in antiquity, the Church and fledgling powers of the west struggled to find their footing in society.
