This put Elizabeth and her Parliament in an extremely uncomfortable position because she was keenly aware of how political revolution could rear its head under the guise of religious rhetoric. As a mark of Papal displeasure, the Pope issued a Papal Bull excommunicating Elizabeth, thereby relieving all Catholics of their duty to be loyal to the Queen. The source of most of this trouble was the Catholic church’s refusal to acknowledge Elizabeth as a legitimate heir to the English throne. Regardless of all this Elizabeth ’s reign from 1558-1603 was filled with a lot of religiopolitical turmoil. Politically it was a time of relative peace, economically it was a time of prosperity and socially it was an era of advancement in art and culture. ![]() ![]() The Age of Elizabeth is considered by many to have been a golden era in the history of England.
