Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book adds to our knowledge of the English Reformation by examining the history of imprisoned English Catholic bishops during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. In the 16th century, the newly crowned queen sought to enforce religious conformity, and many of Englandâs Catholic bishops were imprisoned for their refusal to accept the Act of Supremacy, which declared the English monarch, not the Pope, to be the head of the English Church. The author argues that their imprisonment and subsequent deaths in prison were an intentional effort by Elizabeth and her government to extinguish the Catholic hierarchy in England. The book's insights into this dark chapter of English history shed light on the nature of religious persecution.
