- European reformation and religious change
- henry viii was able to use this movement to encourage religious change in england
- used for his own gain- the change would allow henry to be head of church and annul his own marriage
- without the influence of the crown, it is unlikely that the reformation would have been a major factor in religious change
- most english laity are seen to have little interest in the doctrine of the country, and are easily swayed by the monarch
- henry saw the reformation as an opportunity with the goal of being head of the church, and so promoted the change
- methods such as the dissolution of the monasteries in germany could be used as a template for henry viii
- the methods were similar, although the reasons for henry were mainly financial and not religious
- doctrine introduced showed similarities to doctrine passed in newly reformed germany
- this is probably because an alliance was attempted by henry
- the reformation had limited support
- most support seen in the south east of england
- henry viii was able to use this movement to encourage religious change in england
