Under Henry VII virtually everyone was catholic. Henry VIII broke with Rome and began the move toward Protestantism, though many peasants remained catholic. Edward VI tried to force protestantism on the country and with his death Mary I tried to reverse course and force Catholicism on the country. When Elizabeth I succeeded Mary, protestantism became the state religion, but Catholicism was allowed in private.
