swuklink: The English Reformation

In England the Reformation, which was widespread in Europe, was largely political in origin, born of the rift between Henry VIII and the Pope born of the King's divorce from Catherine of Aragon. This rift was gradualy widened by differences in doctrine.

The second Prayer Book, during the reign of Edward VI, showed Protestant tendiecies which were accentuated by the Civil War and the ensuing Commonwealth, as first Presbyterians and later the Independents gained the upper hand.

With the Restoration of Charles II, some of the catholic features of the Prayer Book of 1549 were restored in the revised Prayer Book of 1662.
