Renaissance
When Johannes Guthenberg invented the printing press, it changed everthing.The people no longer needed the the popes to translate the Bible.People began to buy them.When people began to buy the Bibles they started doubting the power of the Catholic Church.Another problem came when King Henry broke away from the Catholic Church to start the Church of England.King Henry wanted to divorce his wife but the pope wouldn't let him. In the end he had six wives.Two he divorced,two he beheaded,one died on her own and the other out lived him.He had three children,two girls and a boy,which later died when he was sixteen.The older sister took over and ruled for five years.Then the younger sister took over and ruled for forty-five years.When the younger sister died the Renaissance was coming to an end.After she died King James took over.He's the man who comissioned the English translation of the Bible today.
