Religion remained a constant source of conflict throughout the Tudor period and Elizabeth’s reign was no exception. In the final video of my series for history students I respond to their questions around the Puritan threat.

Elizabeth was under siege from the Catholics who wanted her cousin Mary on the throne, and at the same time the Puritans put her under pressure to remove any trace of the Catholic religion from the Church of England. Although she was Protestant, Elizabeth liked some elements of the old faith and sought a compromise between Protestants and Catholics. This was achieved through the Religious Settlement of 1559 which established Protestantism as the official religion of England but made some concessions to Catholics.
