Religious changes which caused rebellion
- The original cause of the rebellion was the closure of abbeys in the Lincolnshire area. Similar fears were expressed in Yorkshire as over 100 abbeys and monasteries were due to close up.
Kett's rebellion was in protest about the slow progress of Protestant reform. Their main problem was that:
the quality of ministers was not good enough for proper reform.
- priests were indulging in the property market as they should be devouting their time to spiritual duties.
The reaction of Devon, Cornwall and Norfolk to the Edwardian Reformation in the summer of 1549 displays contrasting beliefs at this time.
- 13 out of 14 articles drawn up by rebels showed that they wanted restoration and not reformation and marched under the banner of the 5 wounds of Christ and rejected everything that was new.
- Like the P of G they challenged the legality of secular authorities to implement religious reforms.
- Another reason that they rebelled was because heresy was rife. To try and settle the rebels he drew up the Act of Ten Articles in July 1536 to clarify the theological postion.
- As part of the dissolutions, but can be considered as a separate point, was the government's recent assault on saints, pilgrimages and holy days. An example of this can be seen at Kirkby Stephen in Westmorland. There was an uproar when the priest failed to offer prayers for the forthcoming St. Luke's Day when a fair was scheduled.
It was more the government's presence and diocesan agents which brought to light these new reforms.
