Leanda de Lisle considers the role of religion in the dramatic story of the Tudor succession and the faith of Henry VIII's children.
About this Event

When Henry VIII died, and his young son Edward succeeded him, the hope of stability was soon shattered.  With Edward’s accession came a religious revolution. England was to become, for the time, a Protestant country.  

Within six years Edward was dead – buried in Westminster Abbey. As one sister reigned, then another, the impact of religious instability was felt across the whole country.  

Join leading Tudor historian Leanda de Lisle as she sheds light on the contrasting attitudes that Henry VIII’s children displayed towards religion during their reigns and the far-reaching implications this had for the country that they governed.  

This event is part of our monthly Lunchtime Talk series. On the second Wednesday of every month, join us at St Margaret’s Church for an in-depth exploration of part of the Abbey’s history.
