Process

The great political and religious transformations underwent in Tudor England as a result of Henry VIII's break with the Catholic Church and the establishment of the Church of England. While a part of the wider Protestant Reformation, the English Reformation was particularly intertwined with the politics of 16th century England, ebbing and flowing with the decisions of the monarch and political elite.
