Royalty and Religion: Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and James
I
| Take a look at these three to find
out more. Don't miss Henry VIII behaving very badly... |
Fighting and arguments between different religions in England
dated back many years. It was closely tied to the royal family,
in particular the Tudors.
Henry VIII, a Protestant, treated Catholics very badly, as
did Elizabeth I who ruled before James. Many people had hoped
that when she died in 1603 and James I became King, there
might be a chance for peace.
By 1604 though it was clear this wasn't going to happen.
Catesby must have felt the Gunpowder Plot
was his only option.
