2. Elizabeth’s Religious Reform
Elizabeth’s religious reform was a compromise of views.
• She broke Mary’s ties with Rome and restored her father’s independent Church of England, i. e. keeping to Catholic doctrines and practices but to be free of the Papal control. Her religious settlement was unacceptable to both the extreme Protestants known as Puritans and to ardent Catholics.
• Through her marriage alliances which were never materialized, Elizabeth managed to maintain a friendly relationship with France. So England was able to face the danger from Spain.
c. Mary, Queen of Scots was trying to capture the English throne. She was descended through her mother, Margaret, from Henry VII. Mary Queen of Scots was forced by her subjects to abdicate the throne in Scotland because she was implicated in the murder of her husband.
