Elizabethan Religious Settlement
1559
The new English parliament passed the Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity, restoring royal headship of the Church of England and imposing a revised Book of Common Prayer. Catholics and Puritans alike were dissatisfied; the queen called it her via media. The settlement would hold, barely, for the rest of her reign.
