The document discusses the Protestant Reformation in 16th century England under the Tudor monarchs. It began when King Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church after the Pope denied him an annulment of his marriage. This led Henry to declare himself head of the Church of England. His son Edward VI furthered the Reformation, but his sister Mary I tried to restore Catholicism. Eventually, Elizabeth I established the Church of England and a lasting Protestant settlement through the Act of Uniformity and Thirty-Nine Articles.
