In the sixteenth century when Martin Luther first led his revolt against the Church, it was accepted practice that everyone (save Jews) in Europe were the same religion as the prince of that particular country. The Peace of Westphalia tried to stop the political wars by saying that if the prince of a territory left the Church, then any who wanted to remain Catholic had to leave his territory and immigrate to a territory ruled by a Catholic prince.

The Protestant Reformation was the 16th-century religious, political, intellectual and cultural upheaval that splintered Catholic Europe, setting in place the structures and beliefs that would define the continent in the modern era.
Elizabeth I was in a time when Europe was largely protestant catholic.
The Protestant Reformation led to less political and religious unity in Europe, as it fragmented the Catholic Church's influence and gave rise to various Protestant denominations. This division fostered conflicts, such as the Thirty Years' War, and encouraged the rise of nation-states that asserted their independence from papal authority. Consequently, Europe became increasingly characterized by religious pluralism and political fragmentation rather than cohesion.
