Question
what changed after the rein of henry V111 was it to do with religion

Answer
Hello.
The greatest change in English society during Henry VIII's reign was in religion. At the time of his death England had become a Protestant country, when it had been Catholic 20 years earlier. Other dramatic changes were the enhanced standing of the monarchy in conjunction with parliamentary government, the overhaul of the machinery of government, the promotion of the arts and the changes in the landscape with the dissolution of the monastries.

I have a good basic knowledge of British political history, but my speciality is the Kings and Queens of England and Scotland from 927 AD. Please no social history questions, it's not my strong point and I'm unlikely to answer them.
