The Pilgrimage of Grace was a march by armed demonstrators during the beginning of the Protestant Reformation of England. It started when the head of the Kings council Lord Thomas Cromwell implemented a series of laws that caused the dissolution of monasteries, and the confiscation of catholic lands. The goals of the Pilgrimage of Grace was to restore the monasteries, reinstate the pope as the head of the church, and to get rid of protestant officials in the government. The Kings response was at first to try and placate the masses but later on he set out to just quell the "rebellion" through public trials.
The Pilgrimage of Grace was a multi-class uprising as shown in (Doc 10) and was one of the first time that many of these social groups came together under one banner and fought for one cause .The Pilgrimage sought to restore the Pope as the head of the church of England. But the enactment of the Supremacy act in 1534 by the King made him the head of the church in England, many men feared that this Protestant Reformation would lead to the destruction of England and sought to restore the pope as the head of the church in England. These "honorable men" who participated in this march took a oath as stated in (Doc 1) to make sure they were only participating to restore the pope as the head of the church in England and not for some other personal or selfish reasons.
As it is written in (Doc 11) the monasteries were once a source of much needed help in the northern part of England but with the in enactment of the Supremacy Act and the and dissolution of monasteries this quickly came to a end. as it is said in (Doc 5)the King was beseeched to restore the monasteries for without them many vagabonds beggars and hobos would die and many public bridges high walls and sea walls that were much needed by the common people would go into disrepair . Because of this it was one of the pilgrimage of Graces main goals , but

    How and Why Had Elizabeth’s Policy to Catholics Changed by 1581?

    In 1559 Queen Elizabeth 1 of England passed two acts as part of the Church Settlement: The Act of Supremacy and The Act of Uniformity. With these acts she aimed to unite her countries people and avoid rebellion from each religious group. At first it seemed to have worked: The new Archbishop of Canterbury, Matthew Parker (a moderate protestant) was popular with most people; Only 250 out of 9000 priests refused to take the oath of loyalty to the new Church; the fines for recusancy were not strictly enforced and there were no serious protests or rebellions. By 1568 most people had accepted the new Church.…

    Comparing The Pilgrim's Journey To America

    In 1534 England was ruled by King Henry VIII. “He ruled for 36 years during this time he married six different wives all to gain more political power.”[1] Two of his marriages ended in annulment, two from natural deaths, and the others from beheadings. What upset a lot of people from the Church of England is the fact that he wanted to annul his first marriage without receiving approval from the pope.…

    DBQ PILGRIMAGE OF GRACE

    The "Oath of Honorable Men" the participants must take says, "You shall not enter into our Pilgrimage of Grace for worldly gain. Do so for the love of God, for the Holy Catholic Church militant....(Doc. 1)." This oath shows that the members of the Pilgrimage must only protest for the Catholic Church, not for their own gain. The members must do this through their love for God. At the time protestants and catholics had very different views and religion was a source of tension, even though both groups are Christians. In a petition presented to the King's Council, written by Robert Aske in December of 1536, many things are asked of the Council. "To have the supreme head of the Church be the Pope in Rome as before (Doc. 5)." Henry VII had become the head of the Church by the Act of Supremacy in 1534. The demonstrations and protests of the Pilgrimage of Grace were in part reactions to this act. The Pope had been the face of the Church for past centuries. Now, the King, a protestant political figure head, was also the leader of the Church. This was a major concern of the Catholics who started these armed demonstrations. After the petition, a random pamphlet attributed to…

    How Did The Mayflower Compact

    The Pilgrims separated from The Church of England because the church was too strict. They were told that they had to go to the church the government picked. This form of dictatorship was called "State Church." If one went against the states church they would have been arrested and thrown in jail. They were then tortured in an effort to make them changed their beliefs. If this was unsuccessful, they were put to death in very painful ways such as being hung, burned, or death by intense weight. Those who separated and were later called "Pilgrims," felt that the Anglican Church they were attending needed to be altered slightly or changed completely. They…

    To What Extent Was the Rebellion of the Northern Earls the Most Significant Rebellion in the Tudor Period

    The rebellion of the Pilgrimage of Grace, Henry’s reign, was perhaps the revolution in rebellions because although the Lancashire rising had raised 10,000 rebels in 10 days it was going to be like the calm before the storm because the rebels that fought for their beliefs in the Lancashire rising was about to be intensified with the Pilgrimage of Grace. The Pilgrimage of Grace managed to raise 30,000 rebels and actually managed to worry the government because they soon realised that the rebels were going to fight for their beliefs until death. The government was completely caught off guard with this rebellion as they didn’t expect a rebellion so soon after the rebels had been sent home by the Government’s Herald in Lancashire. In all the Pilgrimage of Grace was one of the better executed and planned rebellions in the…

    Henry VIII's foreign policy

    What source 3 takes into account, as well as source 2, is distance. The Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536 was a coming together of the “Northern men (who) refused to end their wicked rebellion” (source 2), however with the many different reasons for the opposition of the Reformation, there was no “obvious moment when opposition could coalesce” as those who wanted to achieve the same outcome were often separated by long distances. The weakness of distance meant that dates and meetings could not be planned effectively; therefore making the opposition against Henry extremely weak in terms of organisation. On the other hand, the fact that the Pilgrimage of Grace took place means that Henry did not have full control as it was organized without his knowledge and so effectively took place under his nose, therefore disagreeing with the statement that is was virtually impossible for effective opposition to form.…

    Comparing The Pilgrims And The Scrooby Separatists

    In opposition of the Puritans, the Pilgrims wanted nothing to do with the Church of England, and quickly separated, hence their “Separatist” title. Pilgrims still revolve around the similar idea of the gift of God’s grace, and unfortunately were quite often put in the situation where all they could look forward to is their next prayer. In these times of need, Bradford asks, “What could now sustain them but the spirit God and His Grace?” (Bradford, 61) Their idea of constant faith in the justness of God would set them apart in our present society, furthering their point of living through their values of God and his sovereignty.…

    The Pilgrims left England for religious reasons because they believed that they were true Christians, determined to purify the Christian church and return to a scripture-based service. Pilgrim groups of Puritans gathered on their own until the English parliament outlawed independent congregations. Due to living under the constant threat of imprisonment or even execution, they were forced to flee after three years.…

    The Pilgrimage Of Grace: Most Serious Rebellion In Tudor Dynasty

    The Pilgrimage of Grace is regarded as the most serious rebellion in Tudor dynasty. It is a rising against reforms of Henrician government took place in Yorkshire on October 1536. The rebels were discontent about the government's new policies accompanied by Reformation. In this popular rising they expressed their grievances in December Petition (Bush, 1996). Its participants did not constrained to commons; evidence showed that gentlemen and clergy also protested against the government since their interest were eroded in terms of property and liberties (Bush 2009, p.150). Although the traditional historical view regards the Pilgrimage of Grace as a revolt which fought for the defence of Catholicism and angry with religious changes initiated by King Henry VIII, scholars like Davies…

    Summary: Awakening In The Colonies

    The colonists had this vision of freedom that caused them to stand up for themselves. People were now thinking for themselves, and had a mind of their own. If they did not like something the church was doing, or did not feel as if that church fit their beliefs, they would leave and find another one, or create new ones, simple as that. The colonists thought of themselves as being just as capable as their authorial figures. Jonathan Edwards, a man who congregated the idea that the most important impressions were the ones who felt god. According to Edwards, “Many pray with their lips for that for which their hearts have no desire” (2). This was what people wanted to change, they wanted to pray with their hearts, and have that emotional connection with their religion. This is what fueled the people’s intolerance with the churches. The people had such a short span, and had their own expectations of how they believed religion should be practiced. People began to question the churches they attended, and rebel against their own ministers. These actions by the people were not for nothing. These rebellious acts resulted in a change of power, it went from the clergy to the…

    how serious was opposition to henry

    To an extent, Opposition to the religious reforms by Henry VIII wasn’t overly serious, the opposition did have some potential to cause damage but the danger was never severe enough to undermine the Tudor dynasty or threaten the omnipotent once of the “Most Christian King”. Opposition was only as serious as the support it had, which is why The Pilgrimage of Grace of 1536 was the most dangerous form of opposition. Henry ensured that disapproval from his kingdom would never threaten to undermine the longevity of the Tudor dynasty by using Cromwell’s key weapon: The Treason Act of 1534. This allowed Henry to eradicate any opposition that had potential to threaten Henry. The religious changes came to a halt in 1540, where Henry sends out a strong deterrent message by executing the architect of the religious changes, Cromwell.…

    Concord Imperialism Analysis

    However, the townspeople of Concord did little to protest these acts, and certainly not in the way Boston displayed their outrage. The people of Concord were more interested in the goings on in their own town, and thought other colonies could handle the dispute (Gross, 1). As was the case in most towns at this time, there was much political conflict present in Concord. The struggle came from a power struggle among the government officials, rather than the townspeople. Also, the town became too large to accommodate its entire population, many families living on the outskirts of town became disgruntled and longed to separate from Concord into another smaller town (Gross, 16). As it grew families settled further away from town buildings, schools, and churches (Gross. 15). Travelling several miles a day was not desirable to anyone. This became a major source of conflict among the townspeople. If granted status, then the town would lose land and the citizens would be responsible for paying a larger portion of the minister’s income (Gross, 16). The church presented another area of conflict, due to problems within the ministry. Not only were men vying for positions in the church, but also for government offices. Dr. Joseph Lee was at the center of this conflict. To obtain an office Lee had to gain the approval of the congregation and church officials. This was a problem for Lee, as he had issues with several members of the church (Gross, 23). The continued problems within the church caused division within the town and affected the way it responded to the Revolution (Gross,…

    Pilgrimage of Grace

    When Martin Luther posted the 95 theses in 1517, he had changed the entire path of European politics and religion. He sparked a thought in the region that in many cases, converted people’s basic Christian beliefs. At the time, the Roman Catholic Church was the most powerful Institution. However, there were many corruptions and problematic doctrines, which Luther opposed. Though most commoners became followers because of faith, political leaders sometimes became protestant for other reasons. One important figure that was influenced by this protestant reformation was King Henry VIII of England. A monarch, he had a great desire to have a son that would be his heir, the next king. Unfortunately, his first wife was only able to birth one daughter. By then Henry VIII had formed a relationship with another woman. This one promised him a son. However, the Catholic Church forbade divorce and Henry VIII was Catholic at the time. To resolve this issue, England separated from the church and began the Anglican Church, a church headed by Henry VIII himself. The Act of Supremacy in 1534 officially began England’s Protestant Reformation. With this new power of the state over the church, the head of the King’s Council, Thomas Cromwell, carried out new government policies which included new taxes, increased power of the monarchy in Northern England, dissolution of Roman Catholic monasteries, and confiscation of the lands that belong to the Church. Enraged, commoners and nobles alike began marching and protesting in what was known collectively as the Pilgrimage of Grace. These individuals that numbered in the tens of thousands, marched for political and religious reasons, while the opposition also claimed political and religious reasons for the protests to stop.…

    How Far Did Church Have a Positive Role in Medicine During the Period 1350-1750?

    The church had in many ways a positive role and this is mainly shown through their developments in hospitals.. Hospitals were mainly set up by the church as parts of monasteries and convents; they were the first steps that helped the population’s public health. Hospitals progressed in standards and effectiveness greatly through the period of 1350 to 1750. In the earlier years around the 14th century hospital’s numbers were increasing rapidly and by 1400 there were 500 across England. They would help patients by providing them with healthy food and water and rest, although this did not cure any illnesses it showed that they must have some knowledge of how to stay healthy. They would also make fresh herbs into remedies which they might treat some of the patients with, some of which were occasionally successful. This progressed when after Henry VIII’s closure of the monasteries in the 1530s more hospitals were eventually built over England (11 in London, and 46 across the rest of Britain.) This progress meant hospitals now took in the poor and some started to take in those with infectious diseases. Simple surgery was also introduced for example setting fractured bones but only if there was no other remedy. The quality of the healers and carers in these hospitals also greatly improved for example St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London had 3…
