What came first Italian Renaissance or English Renaissance?

The Renaissance begins in Italy, in the co called trecento (14th century), its artist is before all Giotto di Bondone, the writers are Giovanni Boccacio, Francesco Petrarca and, most the most important Dante Alighieri. The most important germ of Renaissance is the translation (and rescue) of Aristotle's philosophy, done by the Arabs in Spain: The struggle about it, whether it had to be taught in christian world or should be forbidden - as pope Gregor IX did in 1231 - passes the 13th century: Once the realistic philosophy adopted (and the plague survived), a new science, a new kind of thinking and even of being begins - inspired by the model of ancient culture. Or, models of ancient culture were rare in other countries than in Italy - at least in non-orthodox christian Europe, beyond of byzantine world. English Renaissance only started when the Tudors arose, after the Wars of Roses.
