In the following paragraphs, I will be choosing three historical topics and explaining how they were illustrated by the film. ...
Elizabeth’s Father, King Henry VIII, started the Protestant Church of England, but it was not known if it was because he really disagreed with the Catholic Church, or if he just wanted a male heir and needed to keep re-marrying. ... Next in succession to the throne was Elizabeth’s sister Mary I, a devout Catholic who actually denounced the Church of England and even married Phillip II of Spain (also Catholic), to create an absolute monarchy that did not foster religious tolerance. When Elizabeth I came into power, after the death of her sister, England was divided equally into two groups, the Protestants and the Catholics. ... Another example in the movie was when Mary had her sister Elizabeth locked in the tower because it was thought that she had committed treason by planning to plot against the Church and her sister. Lastly, when Elizabeth got the Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity to pass in Parliament, this was a huge step for Protestants in England.
