Before Elizabeth came to power, her half-sister, Mary Tudor (a.k.a. "Bloody Mary"), an ardent Catholic, ruled England. She, along with her husband, Phillip II of Spain, instituted numerous anti-Anglican policies which included executions and exiles. Once Elizabeth, an Anglican, came to power, she reversed the anti-Anglian policies and began instituting certain taxes and such upon Catholics. However, she was more of a "politique" (meaning that she put her country before her religion), so there was less religious conflict during her time.

The favored religion of Elizabethan England was dictated by Queen Elizabeth I, who established the Church of England as a Protestant church separate from Roman Catholicism.
