Old Elizabeth Textbook Sources- Pg 190

What can we learn from these sources?

19.4: C.Haigh

- Inflow of Catholic seminary from 1574
- Arrival of Jesuits in 1580
- Catholic resistance was increasing
- New supply of priests

19.5: W.MacCaffrey

- Pope’s issuing of the Bull in 1570 gave the Catholics ammunition
- Pope wanted to secure English allies
- Conspiracy to overthrow Elizabeth
Why were the Catholics penalised?

- Not for the heart of their beliefs but for the outward practice of their beliefs
- Unlike Mary I Elizabeth did not seek to root out heresy
- She did not view them as politically disloyal
- Even in the 1580s and 1590s those occasionally guilty of recusancy were welcomed at court
and sat in the House of Lords, whereas the Duke of Norfolk had outwardly accepted the Settle-
ment but still plotted against her
- At the beginning of her reign legislation was not that strictly enforced
- Jesuits and Seminary priests were treated more harshly
- Elizabeth was often reluctant to seek advice from her extreme Protestant councillors such as
Walsingham
- In 1581 she intervened to modify the penalties proposed in parliamentary legislation- she did not
want to penalise people for religious beliefs
- Elizabeth directly contrasted Philip II and Catherine de Medici who persecuted heretics
- Elizabeth did not vigorously pursue Protestantism as she did not want to alienate Catholics but
rather wanted to win them over
- 1570s onwards all Catholics were seen as potential rebels ready to welcome a foreign invader
- 1580s priests were being accused of treason and works deliberately linked to the overthrow of
government, even when there was no proof
- Legislation intensified as war with Spain approached, however the danger of English Catholics
was exaggerated

Northern Rebellion

Why did the rebellion take place?

- Believed Elizabeth’s government and religious settlement was heretical
- Wanted to make Mary Queen of Scots heir to the English throne
- Northumberland had suffered badly from Elizabeth’s reassertion of the policies of her father-
weakening the power of great magnate families on the marches
• Deprived him of his Wardenship of Middle March and allowed him no part in the custody of Mary
