Document Summary
Back in england, edward vi reigned less than gloriously. The reforms became more confused under his rule. Some radicals flirted with iconoclasm and rejection of saints: queen mary. Upon edward"s death in 1553, henry"s elder daughter mary tudor ascended as queen. She stuck to her mother"s aragonese catholic faith. Especially not when it comes to the radicals and calvinists: pole"s return. Soon after her ascension as queen, pole returned from italy. He was ready to help as a royal bureaucrat. A repealer of all past henrician reforms and ultimately archbishop of canterbury: pole"s counter-reforms. Pole began countering the previous reforms by restoring monastic lands to the control of their formal orders. He announced england was back in communion: mary"s reign. He was the hapsburg king of spain, naples, portugal and the netherlands. In her view, this was part of bringing england back into communion with the catholic christians of the continent: executing the reformers.
