Moving on from Martin Luther, it wasn't long before the Tudors and specifically, randy old Henry VIII got in on the act....
According to Google AI:
"The English Reformation was the 16th-century separation of the Church of England from the authority of the Pope, initiated by Henry VIII primarily to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. It led to the establishment of royal supremacy over the church, the dissolution of monasteries, and a shift to Protestantism, though the monarchy's religious policies fluctuated between Catholic and Protestant rulers before Elizabeth I definitively established the Anglican Church ."
***Rather than a presentation or lecture, the idea will be for attendees to do their own prior research which they can then contribute with at the event. You are also welcome to attend of course without researching or having anything to share.***
