In Book Ii, Chapter 12, Of Bede’S History, King Edwin Of

Henry II was educated in England and by the year 1150, he became a duke of Normandy and the counts of Maine, Touraine, and Anjou after his father Geoffrey Plantagenet, who was a wealthy London merchant, died in 1151. Due to his mother’s entitlement to the royal family tree, he claimed the throne and by the High Middle Age, there was a struggle for power between the State and the Church. Moreover, an influx of royal power and crusade expeditions portrayed the seesaw power balance between the two foundations that resulted in the conflict of King Henry II as the King of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Becket, as the head of the Church. The given study brings to light the reforms King Henry II brought during his reign and the impact they had on his rule and the conflict that arose between Thomas Becket because of the reforms the King made.

Henry the VIII was the second English Tudor king, after his father, Henry VII. He reigned over England from, 21st April 1509 until, 28th January 1547. During his childhood and his first marriage, Henry was a firm believer of the Catholic Church and of the Pope. However things changed and later in Henrys reign the English reformation came to England; the monasteries were closed and Henry separated himself from the Roman Catholic Church. Henry was definitely starting to look more and more like a protestant. There are many points that we can use to decipher whether or not Henry VIII was really Catholic or Protestant and in this essay these points will be discussed to draw a conclusion.

The fundamental theme presented in chapter twenty five and twenty six of David W. Dorries book Spirit Filled Christology maintains that Jesus came, not only as a pathway for salvation, but also to lead as an example of the Spirit’s movements and to empower His church with supernatural abilities to further the ministry that He began. In order to expound upon his statements, Dorries uses historical context.

The short yet significant reign of Edward bought with it a series of severe changes to England and all those within it, many of them taking a religious nature. As the once unquestionable authority of the church became challenged by both critics and affiliates alike, England witnessed an almost inevitable reformation. However, the impact on the majority was not necessarily beneficial- as Duffy wrote, the Reformation bought with it an ‘assault on traditional religion’, leaving many men that ‘breathed easier for the accession of a Catholic queen’.

The precious Savior, Jesus Christ, once promised, “I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you may be also.” The children of Christ are called to endure in a life fulfilled with salvation, moral ethics, and truth. In ancient literary stories, the characters Sir Gawain and King Arthur maintained bold lives and portrayed themselves in the Catholic teachings in their achievements and battles. One of the countless similarities that Sir Gawain and King Arthur had with the Messiah was that they acquired faithful followers that accompanied their journeys. These particular characters connect with Jesus Christ and his devoted actions by means of salvation, moral ethics, and truth.

Currently, the future of his congregation members’ lives is very grim: death in eternal flames, powerless to escape, all due to the wrath and whim of God. However, he informs his audience that all across the colonies Christ is accepting all repentant applicants into Heaven. Once they convert, he promises that his pitiful audience will rejoice, sing, and revel in God’s glory, shed of the burden of eternal damnation.

However, one may argue that More’s pious Christian background seems to oppose the pagan ideas found in Utopia and the humanistic view of natural law in general. Yet More addresses this concern by implicitly stating that a religion guided by reason is essentially identical to Christianity: “after they had heard from us the name of Christ…you would not believe how eagerly the assented to it…because Christianity seemed very like the religion prevailing among them” (More, 2011, p. 85). More attempts to combine the

Edward III, “of Windsor”, King of England, eldest son of Edward II and Isabella of France, was born at Windsor on the 13th of November 1312. During his younger years he was made Earl of Chester in 1320, and Duke of Aquitaine in 1325, but did never get the title of Prince of Wales (Luminarium). After an unfortunate reign of his father, Edward III was able to restore national unity and pride in England during the mid-1300. Edward was a direct descendant of Henry Plantagenet, along with all the English kings of the fourteenth century (Goodman, p 1).

Henry VIII was the King that would change England’s religious system and make it his legacy. The religious system would carry on after his reign and become the predominant religion of England. The question is: How did events connected to key historical figures during Henry VIII’s reign cause for a permanent shift in the religious system of England?

The sources utilized were chosen and implemented in relation to how they encompassed concepts related to historical

Saint Edmund Campion, because of his brilliant intellect and faithful martyrdom, converted many into the Catholic faith. He grew to be a scholar, a priest, a true hero, and finally, a martyr. He was very popular back and well-liked by the English people in the sixteenth century, especially by the queen herself. But he used his popularity for good, and was able to convert numerous people by doing so. (Wallace 285) (Waugh 17, 61, 105, 159)

When the early Christians had to keep their faith against the persecutions of the Roman Empire, they had -- obviously -- a visible enemy. Once their religion was legalized and established, however, they had new questions to ask concerning who they were, what could hurt their souls and their way of life. Some of them, at least, concluded that the materialism of the dominant Roman way of life was a non-agressive, but equally corrosive force that would destroy them -- not physically, but spiritually. These Fourth Century Christians, men and women, then left their societies and withdrew into the desert to be able to find true "paradise," not in a safe, secure niche in society, but in their relationship with

As a Christian monk and teacher, Bede could not have carried out this English history without emphasizing the importance of the Christian conversion that took place in England before the VIII century. It covers both the conversion of the kingdoms and the creation of the
