So, what happened after King Henry died?
Who ruled?
1547: First, Elizabeth’s half-brother Edward VI was crowned at the age of 9.
He was King for only six years, until 1553.
He was the first Protestant monarch and very much under the influence of Calvinism.
1553: Then, her half-sister Mary I was crowned at the age of 37.
She was queen for only five years, until his death in 1558.
She was Catholic and fought Protestantism. Her nickname was “Bloody Mary”.
Queen Mary was afraid that Elizabeth would try and take over her throne
so she put her in prison for being a Protestant.

Elizabeth I took the throne at the age of 25 and she sought to return the
country from Catholicism to Protestantism, like her father had done before her.
But thankfully, Elizabeth proved to be a more tolerant ruler than Mary and tried
to make England a fairer place for everyone.
She ruled for 44 years and is considered one of the greatest monarchs of England.

Anne Boleyn, put to death for high treason (although it was really because she did
not have a son). She lost her right to inherit the throne and was downgraded from
