Mary Tudor, also known as Mary I of England, played a significant role in the Renaissance primarily through her efforts to restore Catholicism in England after her father, Henry VIII, established the Church of England. Her reign (1553-1558) was marked by religious strife, but she also patronized the arts and education, contributing to the cultural landscape of the time. Although her reign was often overshadowed by the more prominent figures of the Renaissance, her actions reflected the complex interplay of religion and culture during this transformative period in European history.
The role of the church changed in a number of ways as the Middle Ages ended and the Renaissance progressed. During the Middle Ages the Church worked, with some success, on freeing itself from controls imposed by monarchs. In the Renaissance, the Church in the North of Europe, especially England, was taken over by Protestants and came to be dominated by the states. In England, the Church lost most of its property, the monasteries closed, and the services, such as hospitals and schools, provided by the monasteries had to be provided by the government. During the Middle Ages, there were crusades against heretics, but they were of short duration and were essentially military operations. The accompanying inquisitions were of limited scale. By contrast, the Church of the Renaissance came to try to control individuals far more than it had during the middle ages, with a great increase in the numbers and extent of inquisitions. The result of this was the introduction of witch hunts, which had not existed until about the time the Renaissance began, and attempts to control science, which was almost the reverse of the medieval approach. Where the condemnations of 1210-1277 had the effect of freeing scientists from doctrines imposed by scholars, the Church began to impose itself on such people as Galileo, dictating the meanings of his observations.

The Church in England typically refers to the Church of England, which is the primary Christian denomination in England and the mother church of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

During the Renaissance, patrons played a crucial role in the flourishing of arts and culture by financially supporting artists, architects, and scholars. They were often wealthy individuals, such as members of the nobility or the church, who commissioned works to display their power, status, and taste. This patronage not only enabled the creation of iconic masterpieces but also facilitated the exchange of ideas and innovations that characterized the period. Ultimately, patrons were instrumental in fostering the creative environment that allowed the Renaissance to thrive.
During the Renaissance, financial supporters of the arts included wealthy patrons, prominent families, and the church. Notable patrons like the Medici family in Florence played a crucial role in funding artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.

These patrons were instrumental in fostering the flourishing of art and culture during this transformative period.
