1559 Northern Rebellion
Why were concessions made to the Catholics
Major European powers like France and Spain were catholic so pleasing English Catholics reduced the chance of a rebellion funded by a forein power
The suggested heir Mary Queen of Scots was a Catholic figure head so concession were made to reduce the threat of Mary overthrowing her with the support of the English Public
The majority of the English population were Catholic so she needed to please them
Due to the religious changes in Marys reign the country had fitted back into Catholicism so another upheaval would of been unpopular.
Major figures like the members of the House of Lord and the Earl of Northumberland were Catholic and she needed their support to pass laws and maintain order.
