  • The English Reformation was a religiously and politically reformist movement in England in the late 1520s and early 1530s led by King Henry VIII, inspired by that king's desire to divorce Catherine of Aragon. Its most significant development was that, in 1530, England officially passed from a Catholic kingdom to a Protestant kingdom. Catholicism was restored as England's state religion in 1553 when Henry's daughter Mary became Queen; but the fruits of the Reformation were reinstituted by Mary's half-sister Elizabeth when she became Queen upon Mary's death in 1558. Catholic Europe held out hope that Catholicism would be restored to England should Mary Queen of Scots, Elizabeth's closest living relative, become queen; but Mary was executed in 1587 and her son, Scotland's Protestant King James VI, inherited her claim to the English throne as James I.
