One of Elizabeth I's act as queen was to restore Protestantism in England. England had experienced religious tumult since the death of Henry VIII. Edward VI was also a protestant, however he died young and his older sister Mary took the throne in 1553. Mary was a Catholic and changed England's religion. Several people were executed during her reign for refusing to convert to Catholicism. Elizabeth stabilized England when she took the throne.
