The 16th and 17th century English Protestants were individuals and groups who broke away from the Roman Catholic Church during the Reformation, advocating for reforms in church practices and theology. Key figures included Martin Luther and John Calvin, while movements such as the Puritans sought to purify the Church of England from remaining Catholic influences. This period saw significant religious conflict, leading to events like the English Civil War, where differing Protestant factions vied for power and influence. Ultimately, these developments laid the foundation for various forms of Protestantism that continue to exist today.
