= ELIZABETH I (1558-1603) AND JAMES I (1603-1625) =

HENRY VIII
====Henry VIII was born the 28th June of 1491 and he died the 28th January of 1547. He was the king of England for 37 years. His reign is known by his six marriages, and some of his wifes were executed for infidelity. He had three children: Mary, Edward and Elizabeth. He founded the Anglicanism when he wanted to be divorced from Catherine of Aragon.====

RELIGIOUS ISSUES
**The origin of the Church of England (Anglicanism)** ====In 1536 Henry wanted to divorced from Katherina, but Clemente VII refused it. So Henry VIII decided to broke away with the Catholic Church in Rome and he started the Church of England (Anglicanism) and England became Protestant.====

The problem was that half England was Catholic and the other half was Protestant.

We think that in this video you will understand better the origin of the Church of England (Anglicanism) and who was Henry VIII.
**THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION (Protestantism)** **- How did the movement against Catholic Church start?** ====The movement against Catholic Church (Protestant Reformation) started when Martin Luther wrote 95 points of doctrine where he explained that the Catholic Curch was incorrect on a placard nailed to the door of a Catholic Church in Wittenberg.====

- Martin Luther
====Martin Luther was born in 1483, he was a German Monk. His parents wanted him to become a lawyer, but he wanted to serve God. Martin Luther dedicated his life to learning and teaching the Gospel (a written account taht describes the life, death and resurrection of Jesus). He arrived to the concluison that the Catholid Church had gone astray, he felt that the church was incorrect. He wrote a list of 95 points of doctrine where he explained that the Church was incorrect, on a placard nailed to the door of a Catholic church in Wittenberg. This caused that the Catholic curch losed on the collection of money in exchange for indulgences. He founded a new religion known as Lutheranism.====

**- Calvino.** ====John Calvin was a religious leader who wanted to bring about reform in the Catholic Church. He lived in Switzerland, and wanted to set up a theocracy (God was the most important thing). He thought that everything was controlled by God, the past, the present and the future.==== ====In 1541 John Calvin had managed to set up this theocracy in Geneva, and the government forced all citizens to go to the church several times a week. They had very strict rules about what people could and could not do.====

He was born on 10 of July 1509 and he died on 27 of May 1564.

** CALVINISM **
Calvinism it's a serie of theological beliefs promoted by John Calvin, one of the leaders of the protestant reformation. We can defiine Calvinism as the sovereignty of God. Calvinism is often summarized by Five Points: - Total depravity: Humans are all hopelessly and intensely sinful. - Unconditional election: This is the concept of predestination, God has divided the humans into two groups (The elected, and the ignorants of God) - Limited atonement: It means that Jesus did not die to save all humans. - Irresistible Grace: Every human who God has elected will come to a knowledge of God. - Perseverance of the Saints: This is the belief that everyone who has been saved will remain in the state.

**THE PURITANS**
====The Puritans were a religious group that developed in England in 1563. They were Calvinists who disagreed with Catholic elements. They wanted to follow a way of live they that they thought would be more according to what God wanted. They wanted to live quiet, simple lives, spending a lot of time praying, listening to sermons and reading the Bible. They didn't celebrate parties, they didn't have holidays, and they didn't listen to music or dance. They wore plain clothes, they lived in plain houses, and they wanted to close all the theatres. The Puritans got into trouble in England, some of them were killed, and the others emmigrated to the British Colonies, where they could practice their religion without the interference of their persecutors.====

The descendants of the Puritans today are called Congregationalists or Presbyterians.

**ELIZABETH I** Elizabeth was born in 1533 and she died in 1603. She was the queen of England for 45 years. People call it the Elizabethan Age. The sailors of the time went around the word and discovered many things. She was the daughter of Katherine and Henry and she succeded the reign of her father. Her reign was from 1558 to 1603.

Elizabeth was Anglican because her father founded the anglicanism. She was against Catholic people. Elizabeth had many enemies. The king of Spain sent his Armada of ships to invade England, but her sailors defeated them. Some people in england wanted to kill her, but they were all caught and executed.
