The Elizabethan Settlement was intended to put an end to the religious controversy that had developed in the latter part of the reign of Henry VIII, and had swung from one extreme under Edward VI to the other under Bloody Mary.
The settlement attempted to reconcile all shades of religious opinion, from the Anglo-Catholic or high church on the one hand to the Puritan on the other. The 39 Articles were deliberately made vague and comprehensive and the alternatives in the Prayer Book were created to allow a wide range of services.
Like all attempts at reconciliation, the Settlement was an eventual failure. The Puritans refused to compromise with "popery" while the Catholics were urged towards rebellion by their co-religionists in Europe. Nonetheless, it did provide much-needed stability during the reign of Queen Elizabeth and to a decreasing extent under the Stuarts.

This helped to give a reason for Spain to try and attack England with the Armada in 1558.
