Elizabeth I solidified the Protestant Reformation in England by establishing the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, which aimed to create a moderate form of Protestantism that was acceptable to both Catholics and Protestants. The Act of Supremacy (1559) reaffirmed her as the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, while the Act of Uniformity standardized worship practices through the Book of Common Prayer. These measures helped to stabilize religious tensions and promote a national identity centered around the Anglican Church, ultimately reinforcing Protestantism in England.
Under the doctrine (rules) of the Church of England (the Anglican Church) the authority of the British monarch (currently Queen Elizabeth) is supreme. In practice the Queen delegates this authority either to the parliament or to the leaders of the church.
Queen Elizabeth I opposed Spain's Counter-Reformation primarily because it threatened Protestant England's religious stability and sovereignty. As a Protestant monarch, she aimed to protect her realm from the influence of Catholicism and the political ambitions of Catholic powers, particularly Spain. Her support for Protestant movements in Europe and naval opposition to Spanish dominance, especially exemplified by the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, were crucial in resisting Spain's attempts to reassert Catholicism. Elizabeth's policies ultimately helped solidify Protestantism in England and countered the broader Catholic resurgence in Europe.
It was Protestant. Elizabeth I, who ruled from 1558-1603, the last Tudor Monarch of England was considered illegimate by the Roman Catholic Church, who wanted her cousin, Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots on the Throne of England. She summoned Parliament to consider a Reformation Bill to create a new church in England in 1559. Parliament entered a new Bill, the Act of Supremacy making Elizabeth the head of the "Protestant" Church of England. Thus in 1600, England was a Protestant monarchy, part of the Protestant Reformation.

95 Theses written by Martin Luther is considered the catalyst for the protestant reformation in England in the 1500's. It focused on the Catholic church practices.
Most likely he belonged to the Church of England. Elizabeth 1 didn't wouldn't have Catholics in her employ and the Reformation had all ready happened with her father, so the best guess is that he was Church of England.
