Question 3

Summary

Answer 3

Renaissance ideas in intellectual life and cultural began to take hold in reign of HVIII - humanism spread through schools and universities, and the king was influenced by humanist ideas

Between 1532 and 1547 henry, Cromwell and Cranmer introduced sweeping changes to the church, including the break from Rome, the dissolution of the monasteries, and the reform of traditional catholic practices and
(To some extent) doctrine

Despite the changes, some elements of the church remained the same - church structure was kept largely in tract and form of services remained mainly traditional
