England became officially Protestant during the reign of King Henry VIII in the 1530s when he separated from the Roman Catholic Church. This shift continued under his successors, notably Edward VI, who promoted Protestant reforms. By the time Charles I ascended the throne in 1625, England had been Protestant for nearly 100 years, though the extent and nature of Protestantism varied significantly during that time.

What impact did queen Mary and conflict have?

Queen Mary I of England, known for her attempt to restore Catholicism, had a significant impact on the religious landscape of England during her reign from 1553 to 1558. Her marriage to Philip II of Spain and subsequent persecution of Protestants, leading to the execution of many, sparked conflict and resistance, ultimately solidifying Protestant opposition. This period of religious turmoil contributed to a legacy of division within England, influencing the future reign of her half-sister, Elizabeth I, who sought to unify the country under a more moderate Protestant faith. Mary's reign represents a crucial turning point in the broader Protestant Reformation in England.
