Several English monarchs were Catholic, most notably Mary I, who reigned from 1553 to 1558 and was a staunch supporter of Catholicism, attempting to reverse the Protestant Reformation initiated by her father, Henry VIII. James II, who ruled from 1685 to 1688, was also Catholic and faced significant opposition, leading to his eventual ousting during the Glorious Revolution. Additionally, Charles I was known for his Catholic sympathies, although he remained officially Anglican during his reign.
