What role did Mary Tudor play in the reformation?

Answer 1

King Henry VIII of the house of Tudor was denied a divorce from his wife Ann Bolen by the Pope. In response he created his own church. The Church of Engalnd in which he was the head. He believed he was ordained by God to do this. A church founded on the lust of a king. Today the Queen or King of England is still the head of the church of England. By forming the church of Engalnd he furthered the protestant movement initiated by Martin Luther, who posted his thesis on the door of the church. His thesis denounced the abuses of the Catholic church, especially the selling of indulgences.

Answer 2

Mary Tudor, also known as Bloody Mary, played a significant role in the Reformation as Queen of England from 1553 to 1558. She pursued a policy of restoring Catholicism in England and was responsible for the persecution of Protestants. Many Protestants were executed or fled England during her reign, leading to a fracturing of religious unity and further fueling the religious tensions of the time.
