In England the protestants, mostly Calvinist were treated quite well unless they grew to demanding, then the strength of the state fell upon them. Otherwise they were in clover. There were more Anglicans than protestants, but they were not as vigorous as the Calvinists and the latter were supported by the wealthy who had benefited from the estates of the Monasteries and Nunneries. In the next reign but one the Protestants turned on the King and the Anglican Catholics because they fealt they had nothing to fear Romanism was a busted flush, good only for terrorising the peasants and artisans.
