Question

Which of King Henry's children established the Church of England by law?

a) Henry VIII
b) Edward VI
c) Mary I
d) Elizabeth I

Answer 1

Elizabeth I established the Church of England by law during her reign.

Step-by-step explanation:

The child of King Henry VIII who established the Church of England by law was Elizabeth I.

During the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), she sought to achieve a balance between Protestants and Catholics in England. While her policies leaned towards Protestantism, she required only outward conformity from her subjects. The Church of England retained elements of Catholic service, but priests said mass in the vernacular and were allowed to marry.
