Elizabeth I and the revival of Protestantism
When Elizabeth I came to the throne, Protestantism returned. The clip explores Elizabeth's dilemma - how is she, a convinced Protestant, to make England Protestant again while avoiding yet more upheaval and the creation of Catholic martyrs? Historians explain how Elizabeth took a relatively soft approach, coupled with the creation of a personality cult around herself.
