| Summary |
"History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Death of Elizabeth. Vol. III" by James Anthony Froude is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the exploration of England's tumultuous past during the Reformation, focusing on the events and actors that shaped the period, including political intrigue and the religious conflicts that arose. The narrative likely emphasizes the complexities of foreign and domestic challenges faced by England, particularly during the reign of Henry VIII and the ensuing changes in governance and faith. At the start of this volume, readers are introduced to the foreign and domestic aspects of the Reformation in England, revealing the intricate international relations among Spain, France, and the Papacy in response to Henry VIII's actions. The text details the animosity felt by the Spanish, particularly following the death of Catherine of Aragon, which reignited hostilities and raised hopes for a Catholic counteraction against England's break with Rome. This initial chapter sets the stage for a deeper examination of the political dynamics and social upheavals that characterized the Reformation as various factions vied for control amid growing religious dissent.
