The article posted about the Renaissance discusses how people’s theories on life, philosophy, religion and art all changed. This happened when King Henry VIII separated from the Catholic Church. The printing press also contributed to the Renaissance because people began to read and interpret the Bible for themselves. When this occurred, the Popes influence was reduced. The people had found out the Catholic Church was corrupt.
During the Renaissance there was a lot of turmoil in the English Royal Family. When King Henry died his son took the throne and died very young. His sister Mary, or Bloody Mary, took the throne. Mary killed many Protestants by burning them and having them executed. Next Elizabeth became Queen and followed by her was King James. King James is responsible for the King James Version of the Bible.
