= Why would elizabeth be afraid of the catholics in her country =
NO!! Queen elizabeth I hated catholics! She had many catholics killed as she was a dedicated protestant.
During the course of her reign Elizabeth I had over 400 Catholics executed.
Yes, Elizabeth the first of England killed lots of Catholics. She even had "priest hunts" during her reign, in which priests were found, gathered, and martyred. She also killed lay Catholics. Anyone who was Catholic she would have killed.
Because Queen Elizabeth I was a Protestant, not a Catholic.
it was infact the catholics that challenged Elizabeth the firsts claim to the english throne.
because Elizabeth was accused of trying to kill Mary. Elizabeth was too a protestant and many wanted her on the throne instead of Mary.
Lord Ashley was the husband of Kat Ashley, who was the governess of Elisabeth I. Lord Ashley and Kat worked to get Elizabeth on the throne, so the Catholics wouldn't kill them off.
tina hockaday is horrible
Because one day Mary Queen of Scots came to England and she was a Catholic. The Catholics believed that she would be a better Queen than Elizabeth so people tried to kill Elizabeth so that Mary could take over England. In the end Mary was assassinated by command of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth I combined the Protestants and The Catholics together because Elizabeth tried to bring peace in matters of religion. She tried to find a solution which both the Catholics and the Protestants could agree on and accept this created The Middle Way. Eg. Elizabeth created a bible in English for the Protestants but allowed a Latin edition to be printed for the Catholics. By Georgia age 12.
it encouraged peaceful coexistence between Catholics and protestants.
