Background• During the Tudor era there were major changes in religion;

– back and forth...

• Each new monarch made changes - one year England would be Protestant, the next year Catholic.

• Some historians now think that for the normal people there weren't that many changes - but those who believed really strongly in their religion, such as Puritans (strong Protestants) and strong Catholics, there were serious arguments.

• One way to remember the changes is to imagine a roller coaster...
