Edward VI - religious and economic changes
rebellions
Western Rebellion, 1549
causes - religious grievances - disapproved of 1549 Prayer Book
wanted to reverse religious reforms - they had changed the way people experienced religion
resentment of sheep tax
involved around 7000 rebels, at least 2000 were killed
required significant military action to subdue and was during a particularly bad year for the Tudors
Somerset dealth with rebellions poorly - led to him being removed from power
Kett Rebellion, 1549
16,000 rebels involved - significant number
widepread throughout country and required large force to crush - fairly significant threat
causes - local government's failure to control enclosure - negatively impacted ordinary people
religious change
impact of religious change
only 20% of London was Protestant - London was one of the most Protestant areas, so shows that Protestantism hadn't really taken hold
fewer people donating to Churches (no need as you could get to Heaven based on faith alone) - only 32% of people in the north compared to 70% in Henry's reign
church attendance declined in diocese of Exeter
highly significant - much religious change occurred within a very short reign
Western/Prayer book rebellion 1549 - highly significant rebellion (details on google doc) - rebels disliked new prayer book and wanted to undo religious reforms
religious change under Edward
1549 - First Book of Common Prayer introduced - more moderate but caused Prayer Book Rebellion in 1549
1552 - New Treason Act - it was treason to deny protestant beliefs
1549 - First Act of Uniformity - Catholic mass was made illegal, icons were ot be removed, set out publication for first Book of Common Prayer
1552 - Second Act of Uniformity - set out publication for Second Book of Common Prayer
1547 - Treason Act repealed - no longer treason to deny transubstantiation
1552 - Second Book of Common Prayer - more Protestant - removed ambivalence towards transubstantiation - but was not imposed
1552 - 42 Articles submitted - highly Protestant passage to heaven through faith alone- very radical but was not imposed as Edward died
1547 - Act of Six articles repealed - removed Catholic sacraments that had been reinstated
1547 - Chantries act - banned chantries - shows fundamental Protestant belief about getting into Heaven through faith alone
economic changes
Somerset
debasement of coinage to pay for war - raised £537,000 immediately but worsened the already high inflation
continued war in Scotland - land sales and borrowing led to long-term issues
attempted to tackle issue of enclosure but failed
Northumberland
ended wars with Soctland and France - gained £133,000 for reurn of Boulogne
debasement of coinage
increased revenue from Church by unscrupulous methods
intellectual developments
humanism
still had influence - Archbishop Cranmer had been influenced by humanism, 1547 injunctions required each parish to have a copy of Paraphrases by Erasmus
Edward had has a humanist tutor
Northumberland's approach to reform
more militant - influenced by John Hooper - pushed towards radical reform 1552-53 but Edward died before anything could be passed
