About this video
Runtime: 11 minsCharlotte Gauthier discusses the English Reformation from the 13th century. The English church in the later Middle Ages was often seen as needing drastic reform. Scholars have re-evaluated this view, noting figures like John Wycliffe, who translated the Bible into English. However, his version was too expensive for the average person. Cheaper editions with seditious introductions led to laws against unauthorized preaching. The church faced civil unrest and attempts to disentangle from the papacy. By the 15th century, the English church was gradually separating from Rome, influenced by civil and religious changes. This process continued into the early 16th century, setting the stage for the English Reformation.
