Part 3: the English Reformation C1520 – C1550 Dissent and Break Part 3: The English Reformation c1520 – c1550 Dissent and break with Rome 1 Explain why the church was so wealthy (10) There were many reasons why the church was wealthy. People gave money to the church as it was at the centre of people’s lives. Evidence: through bequests, rich people giving land to the church during their life or in their will, donations of money and goods. This was done both out of faith and possibly to gain favour with God in life and through prayers being said after passing away. Church was effective in making money. Evidence: through tithing, selling indulgences, through pilgrimages-providing accommodation and selling religious artefacts 2 Explain why the church played such an important role in communities in c 1520 (10) Churches provided certainty in an uncertain life. Religious beliefs gave comfort and helped people understand events and emphasised God controlling nature. The church incorporated local folklore and traditions in its calendar of festivals such as Candlemas, Easter and the feast of Corpus Christi. This made people associate church with belonging to a community. Vast majority of the population attended the church. 3 Why was the church powerful in England (10) Because of its influence on the daily lives of ordinary people It was the centre of religious and spiritual life and community life. It provided certainty in uncertain times Because of its political power – its role in government. Many churchmen were highly educated and were often government ministers. Bishops and abbots sat in the house of Lords. Some of Henry VIII’s closest advisors were clergy; eg. Thomas Wolsey and Thomas More. The concept of the Great Chain of Being supported this Because of its wealth. (£400.000 annual - £40.000 income royal lands) Vast majority of people went to church at least once a week. It was part of an international church under the authority of the pope in Rome. 4 Explain why the church was being criticised in the 1520s and 1530s. (10) Certain church practises were criticized. Selling of Indulgences, use & selling of relics, pilgrimages, lifestyle of clergy (not following the vows of poverty and celibacy), pilgrimages, pluralism, church courts, pope should not be in charge of churches in countries – it was the ruler of that country’s responsibility. Some of the church teachings were criticized. Praying to saints, purgatory, transubstantiation, bible and services should be in language of people not in Latin, , justification through works (the Reformers taught justification through faith alone ) 5 Explain why some people wanted religious reform in the 1520s and 1530s .(10) Language of the Bible and mass Under influence of Humanism and European reformers it was argued that people should be able to study the bible in their own languages in order to develop a personal faith. The reformers emphasized the belief of ‘justification by faith alone’ – people couldn’t buy their way into heaven. And as mentioned in question 4. 6 Explain why Henry VIII reformed the church in the 1530s. (10) Henry VIII wanted a divorce from his first wife to be able to marry Anne Boleyn in the hope of getting a male heir to the throne with her. As the pope didn’t grant him the annulment (a divorce) it became clear that if he’d be head of the church himself, he could get divorced. His desire for more power. His desire for more money. The Pardon of the clergy as result of the issue of praemunire gave Henry £100.000 whilst giving him more power at the same time. The dissolution of the monasteries gave him money to finance the war against France. Influence of key individuals at court; e.g. Cromwell and Boleyn. Anticlericalism and reformist ideas. 7 Explain the role of Cromwell in reforming the church in the 1530s. (10) Cromwell was an MP, protestant, privy councellor. Was driving force in the process o f Henry breaking with Rome. Directed Henry to accusing the clergy of Praemunire (would give Henry more power if dealt with) and to pardon the clergy for a payment of £100.000 (added to Henry’s wealth). He drafted laws to make the marriage with Anne Boleyn legal. Had a key role in drawing up documents such as Supplication of the Ordinaries, Treason Act, Act in Restraint of Appeals. All of which would give Henry more power over the church, Was made ‘the royal priest’ after the Act of Supremacy was passed and wrote policies for the new Church of England. Key role in the Valor Ecclesiasticus, Visitations and dissolution of the monasteries. Which gave Henry more power and wealth. The dissolution of the monasteries 1 Explain why some people criticised monasteries in the 1520s and 1530s. (10) Some people suggested that the monasteries were places where monks and nuns lived un-Godly lives. The oath of celibacy and poverty was not taken seriously by all. This was checked through visitations. In the 1520s Wolsey had closed down some monasteries because these visitations had shown them to be ungodly. Some people criticised the wealth of the church (such like Cromwell and Henry) and thought many monasteries were corrupt. Many of the monasteries appeared to hold on to former Catholic practises such as the use of relics after 1534 which would undermine the break with Rome. 2 Explain how the dissolution of the monasteries affected people in England. (10) Monastic buildings were destroyed and many valuable items were stolen by Cromwell’s men. This included many monastic libraries. Most monks and friars found other employment as secular priests and received a pension. Many others faced poverty. Nuns were not allowed to marry or become priest so most faced extreme hardship. Poor people lost their source of support which the monasteries provided. Gentry often benefited by being able to buy land&buildings. For many ordinary people the closing of the monasteries impacted their lives both economically (many lost their jobs as monasteries provided jobs for many) and spiritually (for many people monasteries were a fundamental part of their religious lives – for prayer, places for pilgrimage, shelter whilst travelling.) The Reformation in English churches 1 Explain how religious reform changed the way people worshipped in the 1530s and 1540s. (10) Laws changed the way people worshipped eg. The Ten Articles in 1536 which restricted holy days and the worship of saints and images. In 1538 all churches were to have a bible and extinguish all lights. People could no longer worship saints, and relics were banned. Church services were in English and the bible was translated in Enlish in 1536. In the late 1530s some Catholic practises were restored such as confession and the idea of transubstantiation. Under Edward (1547 onwards) more protestant reforms were implemented such as the worship of images and relics were forbidden. The Second Act of Uniformity (1552) required everybody to attend church on Sunday. From 1547 statues, stained glass, church plate (church objects made out of precious metals)paintings, relics and images were removed from churches. A pulpit and whitewashed walls were expected in every church. 2 Explain why there were so many religious reforms between 1534 and 1550. (10) The Act of Supremacy gave Henry specific powers in the Church and many reforms were introduced to make the religious reforms official. 1534 - 1536 After the death of Anne Boleyn, Henry re-established many Catholic practices and beliefs. 1537 -1546 Under Edward the reforms made the Church of England a more Protestant church. 1547 - 1553 One could divide the reforms in 3 phases. Phase 1 Henry VIII under the influence of the Boleyns.(to implement reforms and consolidate Henry’s power as Head of the Church) Phase 2 Henry VIII after the death of Anne Boleyn (many Catholic principles restored). Phase 3 Reforms under Edward VI (Church of England becomes a more Protestant Church) 3 Explain the effects of religious change on English parishes in the 1530s and 1540s. (10) The effects of the reforms on parish churches became more clear after 1538 when all churches had to have an English Bible and all lights were to be extinguished. People could no longer worship saints and relics were banned. Under Edward parishes were instructed to remove statues, stained glass windows and church plate. Church buildings were white washed. Many parishioners and clergy though hid statues, relics and paintings. The dissolution of the Chantries 1547 had a huge impact on people as many chantry priests made contributions to the local community and often provided education. Religious changes under Edward had to be paid for by the local parishes – this put a financial burden on many parishes. Many valuable items were sold to finance the new requirements. 4 Explain why some people resisted religious change in the 1530s and 1540s. (10) Some people resisted religious changes to the church as they objected to the abbeys being torn down, the removal of precious items, banning of holy days and prayers to the Pope. An example of this is the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536 -1537. The first demonstration of discontent with the changes under Edward VI was the ‘Prayer Book Rebellion’ or Western Rebellion in 1549. The rebels wanted to return to the practices under Henry VIII . They wanted mass to be in Latin, images to return to the church. The majority of ordinary people were concerned about the effects on their parish church, shrine or monastery and local services. They weren’t really concerned about the political aspects of the Reformation. Some people didn’t trust or value the new religion as they had the old. This became clear in absenteeism and not leaving money to a local church.

    CLIMATIC VARIABILITY IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY EUROPE AND ITS SOCIAL DIMENSION: A SYNTHESIS CHRISTIAN PFISTER', RUDOLF BRAzDIL2 IInstitute afHistory, University a/Bern, Unitobler, CH-3000 Bern 9, Switzerland 2Department a/Geography, Masaryk University, Kotlar8M 2, CZ-61137 Bmo, Czech Republic Abstract. The introductory paper to this special issue of Climatic Change sununarizes the results of an array of studies dealing with the reconstruction of climatic trends and anomalies in sixteenth­ century Europe and their impact on the natural and the social world. Areas discussed include glacier expansion in the Alps, the frequency of natural hazards (floods in central and southem Europe and stonns on the Dutch North Sea coast), the impact of climate deterioration on grain prices and wine production, and finally, witch-hlllltS. The documentary data used for the reconstruction of seasonal and annual precipitation and temperatures in central Europe (Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic) include narrative sources, several types of proxy data and 32 weather diaries. Results were compared with long-tenn composite tree ring series and tested statistically by cross-correlating series of indices based OIl documentary data from the sixteenth century with those of simulated indices based on instrumental series (1901-1960). It was shown that series of indices can be taken as good substitutes for instrumental measurements. A corresponding set of weighted seasonal and annual series of temperature and precipitation indices for central Europe was computed from series of temperature and precipitation indices for Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, the weights being in proportion to the area of each country. The series of central European indices were then used to assess temperature and precipitation anomalies for the 1901-1960 period using trmlsfer functions obtained from instrumental records.

Quidditas 37 (2016) 57 Small Mid-Tudor Chronicles and Popular History: 1540-1560 Barrett L. Beer Kent State University This essay examines twenty-two editions of little-studied small Mid-Tudor chroni- cles that were published by printers at Canterbury and London. They demonstrate the important role of printers in historical scholarship and offer a significantly dif- ferent perspective on English history than the better-known, larger contemporary works of Robert Fabyan, Edward Hall, and Thomas Cooper. The chronicles also shed light on the readership of historical works by non-elite readers who presum- ably could not afford larger and more expensive chronicles. The short chronicles present a simplified view of the past, avoid propagating the well-known Tudor myths including the tyranny of Richard III, and demonstrate a clear preference for recent history. Although overlooked in most accounts of Early Modern historiography, the small Mid-Tudor chronicles are clearly part of the historical culture of the era.

  • Black British History Tudors & Stuarts Ad 1485 - 1714
    A TIMELINE OF BLACK BRITISH HISTORY TUDORS & STUARTS AD 1485 - 1714 The Tudor and Stuart periods saw monumental change in the relationship between Europe and their continental neighbours. As the period begins, we see evidence of integrated societies at different levels of local and national life. By the close, Britain is embarked on a frenzied mission to extend their colonial reach and primed to step into an industrial revolution, powered by the outrageous wealth accumulation made possible by the triangular slave trade. THE COURT OF JAMES IV AD 1488 - 1513 King James IV Scotland had numerous qualities and successes; he united the highlands and lowlands; he created a Scottish navy; and maintained alliances with France and England. It is clear that he was also something of a forerunner in regards multi-culturalism. Records show that many black people were present at the court of James IV – servants yes but also invited guests and musicians. Much of what we know comes from the royal treasurers accounts which show that James’ purse paid wages and gifts to numerous ‘moors’. African drummers and choreographers were paid to perform, to have instruments repainted, or bought horses to accompany James on tour. The records also show black women present being gifted clothing, fabric and large sums of money. CATALINA & CATALINA AD 1501 In 1501 ‘la infant’ Catalina, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, arrived in Plymouth to begin a new life in England. She came from one royal household and was travelling in preparation to be married into another, the fledgling Tudor dynasty. She was promised to Arthur, heir to the English throne.

  • THE REFORMATION in LEICESTER and LEICESTERSHIRE, C.1480–1590 Eleanor Hall
    THE REFORMATION IN LEICESTER AND LEICESTERSHIRE, c.1480–1590 Eleanor Hall Since its arrival in England, never did Christianity undergo such a transformation as that of the Reformation. By the end of the sixteenth century the official presence of Catholicism had almost entirely disappeared in favour of Protestantism, the permanent establishment of which is still the institutional state religion. This transformation, instigated and imposed on the population by a political elite, had a massive impact on the lives of those who endured it. In fact, the progression of these religious developments depended on the compliance of the English people, which in some regions was often absent. Indeed, consideration must be given to the impact of the Reformation on these localities and social groups, in which conservatism and nostalgia for the traditional faith remained strong. In spite of this, the gradual acceptance of Protestantism by the majority over time allowed its imposition and the permanent establishment of the Church of England. Leicestershire is a county in which significant changes took place. This paper examines these changes and their impact on, and gradual acceptance by, the various religious orders, secular clergy, and the laity in the town and county. Important time and geographical comparisons will be drawn in consideration of the overall impact of the Reformation, and the extent to which both clergy and laity conformed to the religious changes imposed on them, and managed to retain their religious devotion in the process. INTRODUCTION The English Reformation is one of the periods in history that attracts a high level of interest and debate.

  • Clothing, Memory and Identity in 16Th Century Swedish Funerary Practice
    Joseph M. Gonzalez 6 Fashioning Death: Clothing, Memory and Identity in 16th Century Swedish Funerary Practice Introduction King Gustav Vasa was married three times. In 1531, less than a decade after his election as King of Sweden, he made a match calculated to boost his prestige and help consolidate his position as king and married Katarina von Sax-Lauenburg, the daughter of Duke Magnus and a relative of the emperor. She bore the king one son, Erik, and died suddenly in 1535 (Svalenius, 1992). After her death, the king married the daughter of one of the most powerful noble houses in Sweden, Margareta Eriksdotter Leijonhufvud in 1536. Queen Margareta bore the king eight children before she died in 1551. By August of 1552, the fifty-six year old Gustav Vasa had found a new queen, the 16-year-old Katarina Gustavsdotter Stenbock, daughter of another of Sweden’s leading noble houses. Despite the youth of his bride, the marriage bore no children and the old king died eight years later (Svalenius, 1992). The king’s death occasioned a funeral of unprecedented magnificence that was unique both in its scale and in its promotion of the Vasa dynasty’s image and interests. Unique to Vasa’s funeral was the literal incorporation of the bodies of his two deceased wives in the ceremony. They shared his bed-like hearse on the long road to Uppsala and the single copper casket that was interred in the cathedral crypt. Six months after the funeral, Gustav Vasa’s son with Katarina von Sax-Lauenburg, Erik, was crowned king.

For the space of a year, preachers were to steer clear of six topics which ‘have caused dissension amongst the subjects of this realm’, namely, ‘purgatory, honouring of saints, that priests may have wives, that faith only justifieth, to go on pilgrimages, to forge miracles’.1 The first four items on this list represent important doctrinal flash-points of the early Reformation; the fifth, an increasingly contentious ingredient of popular religious culture.

  • The Renaissance Workshop in Action
    The Renaissance Workshop in Action Andrea del Sarto (Italian, 1486–1530) ran the most successful and productive workshop in Florence in the 1510s and 1520s. Moving beyond the graceful harmony and elegance of elders and peers such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Fra Bartolommeo, he brought unprecedented naturalism and immediacy to his art through the rough and rustic use of red chalk. This exhibition looks behind the scenes and examines the artist’s entire creative process. The latest technology allows us to see beneath the surface of his paintings in order to appreciate the workshop activity involved. The exhibition also demonstrates studio tricks such as the reuse of drawings and motifs, while highlighting Andrea’s constant dazzling inventiveness. All works in the exhibition are by Andrea del Sarto. This exhibition has been co-organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Frick Collection, New York, in association with the Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe, Gallerie degli Uffizi, Florence. We acknowledge the generous support provided by an anonymous donation in memory of Melvin R. Seiden and by the Italian Cultural Institute. The J. Paul Getty Museum © 2014 J. Paul Getty Trust Rendering Reality In this room we focus on Andrea’s much-lauded naturalism and how his powerful drawn studies enabled him to transform everyday people into saints and Madonnas, and smirking children into angels. With the example of The Madonna of the Steps, we see his constant return to life drawing on paper—even after he had started painting—to ensure truth to nature. The J. Paul Getty Museum © 2014 J.
