| Question | Answer |
| What role did the nobility play in the Wars of the Roses and why did this pose a threat to the Tudor monarchs? | The nobility played the role of the army/recruiting the army, however this posed as a threat as they could turn against the monarch as they were in control of their selves. |
| What role was created to solve the problem in question 1 and why was it important? | The role of the Lord Lieutenant was created, each county had a Lord Lieutenant to observe what took place. |
| What were the two reasons to call parliament before 1529 | Parliament were called for taxation and to pass laws/acts. |
| How did Henry VII use parliament to secure his throne? | Henry issued the Act of Attainder against his enemies. Henry VII used parliament to secure his throne as he was a usurper, and by gaining the support of the parliament (some members were religious), it equaled to support from God. |
| Describe a specific example of anti clericalism under Henry VIII? | A perfect example of anti clericalism under Henry VIII would be the Hunne case, who was imprisoned as he refused to pay the burial fee for his infant son and was burned to death – people felt the church was too harsh. |
| Why is the Act of Supremacy (1534) important? | The AoS in 1534 is important because it broke the relationship from Rome and the Church and made Henry VIII the Supreme Head of the English Church = the church no longer had power. |
| What effect did the Act of Supremacy have on the power of parliament? | The AoS made parliament more powerful as they were now in charge of cases in court for example, rather than the church. |
| Why was the Act of Supremacy not a significant turning point? | Henry was already head (for a year) before it was passed. |
| How did Henry VIII move the country towards Protestantism but then return to Catholic traditions? | Act of 10 Articles, then Act of 6 Articles. |
| How did Mary affect the religion of the country and why was it not successful? | Mary effected the religion of the country because she tried to reverse the AoS and change the religion from Protestant to Catholic. She couldn't restore the church, there was no land, and she died (early) before anything could be done. |
| Elizabeth’s religious settlement was a compromise. Give and explain a specific example. | Elizabeth’s religious settlement was a compromise because she wanted to stay on both sides of the different religions without upsetting one or the other. She made herself head governor of the church (rather than supreme head) and introduced the second AoS and also the Act of Uniformity, which set out a specific way in which people had to pray and go to church. = She left out article 29 (of the 39 articles), and argued against transubstantiation. |
| Give a specific example and explain a specific example of Parliament challenging the authority of the monarch. | Parliament challenged the authority of the monarch when they were unhappy with the way that Elizabeth’s people were using the monopolies, so they insisted that all of the licenses had to be checked – Elizabeth allowed this. |
