In the sixteenth century, when the protestant heresy first appeared, one person tried to have his cake and eat it too, Henry VIII. He knew that if he totally accepted the protestant heresy his people would revolt, so he tried to forge a middle ground, his son, Edward VI, was really too young to do much of anything and his advisors went all the way to the protestant side of things. When his sister, Elizabeth I came to the throne, she attempted to return to the middle road, but as with her father, it still had to be a protestant church, but they tried to keep Catholic features.
