In France, the political structure of absolute monarchs was known as "absolutism." This system concentrated power in the hands of the king, who ruled without significant checks from other institutions, such as the nobility or the church. The monarch was seen as the embodiment of the state, exercising control over all aspects of governance, law, and society, often justified by the doctrine of the divine right of kings. Notable absolute monarchs include Louis XIV, who famously declared, "L'état, c'est moi" ("I am the state").
King Henry VIII had a profound impact on English religion by initiating the English Reformation, which led to the establishment of the Church of England. His desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn prompted a break from the Roman Catholic Church, resulting in the Act of Supremacy in 1534, which declared him the Supreme Head of the Church of England. This shift not only altered the religious landscape by promoting Protestantism but also allowed for the appropriation of church lands and wealth, significantly changing the political and social structure of England.
yes well..actually she was burned at the stake in France by French Catholic clerics with the encouragement and support of the English for alleged heresy against the Catholic Church with the real reason being that she was SAVING France from the English. Funny huh..restored French sovereignity by driving out the English AND lived a life of such devotion to the Catholic faith that she was canonized by the Catholic Church as a beutific example of following the faith. and gets burned at the stake for allegedly being an enemy of the Catholic Church by FRENCH CATHOLICS

Westminster Abbey
Queen Victoria was crowned at Westminster Abbey in London on 28th June 1838. Westminster Abbey, the Royal Church, so to speak. By the way Five Sovereign Queens lie buried in this church- Victoria is not one of them, She is interred at the Frogmore Mausoleum, in the Windsor Castle complex- the so-called Home Park, it is a memorial park, not a public pleasure garden.
Monarchs, the church, and the Crusades were intertwined in medieval Europe. Monarchs often worked closely with the church to validate their rule and gain divine support. The Crusades were military campaigns sanctioned by the church, led by monarchs, with the goal of reclaiming the Holy Land from Muslim control. This collaboration between all three entities shaped the power dynamics and religious landscape of Europe during this period.
The church constantly threatened the monarchy with excommunication when they went against the church. In the Middle Ages excommunication was a real threat to people because they believed that they would go to Hell if they didn't follow the church.
It made the Church dependent on individual monarchs.
They ate the ground
Scottish Presbyterians were led by Calvinist leader John Knox. Calvinists were later known as Puritans since they confronted the English monarchs and pressed for church reform.
The Act of Settlement 1701 requires that the monarch "join in communion with the Church of England", which effectively means they can't be Roman Catholic.
It started killing the people
The pope and the clergy tried to preserve Chruch privileges as powerful monarchs chipped away at it's power.
