A Separate Peace chapter 13 vocab
The Act of Supremacy in 1543 made an abundance of people irate, this anger resulted in the Pilgrimage of Grace taking place. There were many people that opposed this movement and many that favored it. The Oath of Honorable Men (doc.1) shows a goal of the Pilgrimage of Grace. It states how you cannot enter the pilgrimage for worldly gain but only for your love of God. It also states, and to expel evil counselors which was a clear goal of The Pilgrimage of Faith. The best way to figure the cause of a movement is to read and understand its oath. A letter written to the king by Robert Aske (doc 5) shows the grievance they want addressed. One of these demands are for the supreme head of the church to be the pope. This is an issue with the King because the pope would not grant him a divorce, therefore the pope cannot be head of the church. By understanding this document we know the problems that Robert Aske had with the king. When King Henry VIII became head of The Church of England, catholic churches started losing land and were Robbed, spoiled, and shorn Of cattle and corn. (doc 4) This was explained by catholic monks. Later in this document it says how they were shorn of their houses and lands. This shows how hostile the king was towards the catholic church after they did not allow him to get a divorce. King Henry VIII was taxing anybody and anything he could according to Robert Aske. Any monies earned from abbey lands are now going to the king. Sea walls, dikes, bridges, and high walls that were once maintained by the monasteries for the good of the Commonwealth are now left untended. (doc. 11) These two quotes show the problems and how corrupt England was under King Henry VIII. Even though he taxed everything, he still couldnt maintain simple things like sea walls, dikes, bridges, and high walls. This is yet another reason why the people rebelled. Richard Mcrisson, writes hired by Thomas Cronwell (doc 7) did not agree with the normal people that rebelled.

    When Martin Luther posted the 95 theses in 1517, he had changed the entire path of European politics and religion. He sparked a thought in the region that in many cases, converted people’s basic Christian beliefs. At the time, the Roman Catholic Church was the most powerful Institution. However, there were many corruptions and problematic doctrines, which Luther opposed. Though most commoners became followers because of faith, political leaders sometimes became protestant for other reasons. One important figure that was influenced by this protestant reformation was King Henry VIII of England. A monarch, he had a great desire to have a son that would be his heir, the next king. Unfortunately, his first wife was only able to birth one daughter. By then Henry VIII had formed a relationship with another woman. This one promised him a son. However, the Catholic Church forbade divorce and Henry VIII was Catholic at the time. To resolve this issue, England separated from the church and began the Anglican Church, a church headed by Henry VIII himself. The Act of Supremacy in 1534 officially began England’s Protestant Reformation. With this new power of the state over the church, the head of the King’s Council, Thomas Cromwell, carried out new government policies which included new taxes, increased power of the monarchy in Northern England, dissolution of Roman Catholic monasteries, and confiscation of the lands that belong to the Church. Enraged, commoners and nobles alike began marching and protesting in what was known collectively as the Pilgrimage of Grace. These individuals that numbered in the tens of thousands, marched for political and religious reasons, while the opposition also claimed political and religious reasons for the protests to stop.…

    Throughout the reign of Henry Tudor there were multiple changes made in respect of religion and as a result of this, religious divisions (which are still observable in England today) began to take hold. Henry was initially, and arguably, always a Catholic. However, he repeatedly made decisions which suggested a leaning towards Protestantism. At a time when radical religious ideas were spreading, England became ripe for change. Yet the changes that followed were not, as it could be assumed, the result of Henry's shifting beliefs. In fact, they were more a result of Henry's obsession with power and the impoverishment of his finances , alongside his need for a legitimate male heir.…

    The Pilgrimage of Grace started because many people were dissatisfied with King Henry VIII's actions. The King's decisions to form a new religion sparked a controversy with the devout Catholics, but others were angry, not necessarily with the religion aspect, but just with the mannerisms of the King. For example, the King's decision to make a new religion without a Pope was not revered by some men because they strongly disagreed with heresy. Other people believe that the King was being unfair when he took away their land for his own benefit and profited from it. Some people believe that the King made inexcusable decisions on his behalf, while others believe the King was justified in his decisions.…

    The Pilgrimage of Grace was a religious uprising in York, England which started in late 1536 and finished in early 1537, where people lead by Yorkshire lawyer Robert Aske staged protests and demonstrations in opposition to King Henry VIII’s dissolution of monasteries and break from the Catholic Church. This rebellion was mostly aimed at Thomas Cromwell, who was Henry’s High Chancellor; and many of these marchers influenced Cromwell’s policies. The participants of the Pilgrimage of Grace had a goal to reinstate the Catholic Church, and a concern of the economic impacts caused by losing monasteries; those who opposed the movement had a goal to punish leaders and anyone associated with the movement and a political concern of losing power for the king. Documents 1, 3 and 5 demonstrate the marcher’s religious purpose and desire to bring power back to the church. Documents 4, 6 and 11 prove the marcher’s concerns about the economic impact that the dissolution of monasteries caused. A goal to punish anyone associated with the Pilgrimage of Grace can be found in Documents 8 and 10. Documents 7 and 9 indicate the oppositions’ concerns of the king losing power.…

    The whole idea to reform the church in England essentially started when King Henry VIII realized he would be unable to divorce his wife, Catherine. He had already set his sights on Anne Boleyn, so he needed to find a quick loophole in order to divorce Catherine and marry Anne. Because the Catholic Church still headed England and even the King had to submit to Papal rule, Henry decided it would be far better if he could just be sovereign (and therefore be able to divorce Catherine). Due to this revelation, King Henry decided to reform the Catholic Church and create "The Church of England". Theologically, he stuck to Catholic principals such as confession and clerical celibacy, but he closed monasteries in order to acquire the wealth they held. In essence, all King Henry did was change the legality of the Church but he did not bring about revolutionary religious change.…

    There are evidences that support the view that the main cause of the Pilgrimage of Grace was a widespread dislike of religious changes. Source 6 states that “...Pilgrimage of Grace was a reaction against the religious changes”. Everything about the rising was to do with religion, the banners that the rebels carried had the five wounds of Christ on it, and all the rebels had to take the pilgrims oath. Where they swore not to carry out violence and that the pilgrimage was all to do with God and not overthrowing the king. This is supported by the evidence in source 7 where it says “except for the love you bear to Almighty God”. The author for source 7 is Robert Aske, who led the Pilgrimage of Grace to defend the religious houses that were being closed and property seized by the king. This goes to show that religion seemed to be the main cause of the uprisings against the king; the evidence shows that the Pilgrimage of Grace was named due to religion.…

    The dissolution of the monasteries had not attracted significant opposition elsewhere but was an important factor in the Pilgrimage of Grace, which was the only major rebellion of Henry’s reign. The Pilgrimage of Grace was the central event in a series that took place in 1536, firstly in Lincolnshire and the across Yorkshire and the north-west. Some would argue that this rebellion was not a major threat and did not damage Henry but there were underlying issues including Henry’s relationship with the Pope and his reliance on the rebels loyalty to Robert Aske and the monasteries that contributed to the result.…
