Q-To what extent was there a “revolution” in government under Cecil?Plan:
Intro:
- Had a history of working in politics as well as him coming from a family
involved with the Tudor family
- He was secretary to Edward VI in 1543 then becoming a member of the
privy council under Northumberland.
- Once Elizabeth 1st came to the throne, he became prominent once again
when he became her secretary in 1558.
- During Elizabeth’s reign he didn’t change the administration of the
government, but he did ensure that Cromwell’s work before him were
made permanent.
- Was extremely loyal to the queen “serve god by serving of the Quene”
Yes, there was a revolution:
- Cecil played a role in forming Elizabeth’s religious settlement. This agreed
with his own beliefs as he was Anglican. Alongside this Elizabeth was
protestant but wanted to create a middle way with the help of Cecil.
Revolutionary = no other monarch had ever considered this before it was a
turning point and an insight into the future of Britain’s governing system.
- Cecil didn’t want to persecute Catholics he wanted to allow for the religion
to die out naturally. Revolutionary = showed that the way the monarch and
government viewed religion was changing and developing.
- In 1560 Cecil had given assistance to Scottish rebels. As a result the
reform in Scotland succeeded and it changed how Christianity was
practiced in Scotland. It saw an end to the excessive corruption and wealth
in the catholic church and meant that Latin was of a downfall making it
easier for the normal working class and poor people to have access to the
church and its services such as bible readings. Revolutionary = was the
center point of 17th century political policies under James after Elizabeth.
Also started to shape what Britain was to look like in terms of religion and
law.
