During the time King Henry VIII was trying to get rid of his wife, Catherine of Aragon, the Protestant Reformation was going on. Unable to obtain an annulment from the Pope, establishing Protestantism as the primary religion of England, and putting himself as the head of the church, worked to Henry's advantage. When his son, Edward, took the throne, Catholic holy icons, fancy dress and celebration of the saints were banned. When his sister, Mary came to the throne, however, Catholicism was restored, and Mary proceeded to deal harshly with the Protestants. When her sister, Elizabeth I ascended the throne, Protestantism was brought back, firmly establishing it, rather than Catholicism, as the religion of Britain.
