Supremacy

This chapter examines the nature and extent of royal supremacy during the reign of Henry VIII. If Henry's supremacy was innate and divinely ordained, the question that arises is why it required an act of Parliament. The King's own view was that Parliament merely expressed the nation's assent, but Thomas Cromwell may have thought differently. The legal theorist Christopher St German, an inspiration for the parliamentary assault against the clergy in 1531–1532, certainly believed that royal supremacy rested in the King in Parliament. The chapter considers the rise of a new religious phenomenon — dissident, oppositional Roman Catholicism — and issues regarding the King's divorce and supremacy before discussing visitation, which was intended for both symbolic performance and practical enforcement of the royal supremacy. It also looks at the death of Catherine of Aragon and the first formal statement of doctrine for the independent Church of England, known as Ten Articles.

Description:

This chapter examines the nature and extent of royal supremacy during the reign of Henry VIII.

If Henry's supremacy was innate and divinely ordained, the question that arises is why it required an act of Parliament.

The King's own view was that Parliament merely expressed the nation's assent, but Thomas Cromwell may have thought differently.

The legal theorist Christopher St German, an inspiration for the parliamentary assault against the clergy in 1531–1532, certainly believed that royal supremacy rested in the King in Parliament.

The chapter considers the rise of a new religious phenomenon — dissident, oppositional Roman Catholicism — and issues regarding the King's divorce and supremacy before discussing visitation, which was intended for both symbolic performance and practical enforcement of the royal supremacy.

It also looks at the death of Catherine of Aragon and the first formal statement of doctrine for the independent Church of England, known as Ten Articles.
