Question

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

A)Elizabeth I
B)Mary
C)Edward
D)Henry IX

Answer 1

Henry VIII started the process of creating the Church of England after his split with the Pope in the 1530's. Henry was anxious to ensure a male heir after his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, had borne him only a daughter.

Therefore it would be Mary

Answer 2

In 1534 King Henry VIII declared himself to be supreme head of the Church of England.

However, during the reign of Queen Mary I and King Philip, the church was fully restored under Rome in 1555. However, the pope's authority was again explicitly rejected after the accession of Queen Elizabeth I when the Act of Supremacy 1558 was passed, and England stablished again their autonomy from Rome, but this time, unlike 1534 Act of Supremacy, Elizabeth I developed the understanding that the church was to be "both Catholic and Reformed".

So the final answer is: Elizabeth I
