Document Summary
Edward vi: son of henry viii - died at the age of 16, was very sick. Made the pope the head of the church. Elizabeth i: best of all, very cautious and moderate woman. The printing press mobilized information and allowed the common person to read in their very own language. The reformation was supported by princes and city rulers (they lost income to the church therefore supporting the reformation was financially positive) There was a strong anti-clericalism/anti-papacy (people were very critical of the church due to corruption) Women received a higher status for being married (catholic church emphasized value in virginity while the reformation emphasized the value in family and marriage) Equality for all believers (this also meant priests were on the same level as everyone else) Female images and role models reduced (mary was not worshipped now) Dissolution of monasteries (this only left women with the option of becoming a wife)
