Trueman, Chris. The Reformation. History Learning Site, 2nd May, 2010. Web. 5th June, 2010, [http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/reformation.htm].

This in an informative website while being simple and easy enough to read quickly. It has many facts about the reign of Henry VIII and how he directly and indirectly influenced the Protestant Reformation. It goes into good information about the reactions that the Catholic Church had to the changes Henry put into affect over his land and his new church, talking about the ways the church even tried to appease the king in some ways, trying to strike up compromises to no avail. The steps taken to completely sever ties with Rome are spelled out on this website in an easy to read fashion. The author, Chris Trueman, who has a BA in history with honors from Aberystwyth University in Wales and later an MA in management from Brighton University, decided in 2000 to create this website out of a feeling that there was no easily accessible and comprehensive website on World History on the web. All of the writings on these pages were done by the author himself from the knowledge he has accumulated over the years while teaching history and American and British politics.
