Historians imagined the feudal system as an agreement between the different ranks: the king, the barons and the peasants. 
Which of the following statements DOES NOT FIT into the concepts of Feudalism? 
The 'feudal system' is the name for a power structure where people held their land in return for promising loyalty, known as doing homage, and providing services such as working or fighting for their lord.
During Feudalism, part of the produce of the land was bought by the King in order to help the serfs´.
The greater nobles gave part of their lands to lesser nobles, knights, and other ´freeman´.
In theory the king was the chief feudal lord, but in reality the individual lords were supreme in their own territories.
When William, Duke of Normandy conquered England in 1066, he confiscated all the land from the Saxons who owned it, and distributed it amongst the barons who had supportedhis invasion. Thus, historians say that England became a 'perfect' feudal government.

Stimulated by the excitement of the Egyptian manuscripts, recently discovered by archeologists, the Elizabethan world came alive with several plays based on the values of the old Egyptian world.

England adopted the Protestant religion during the reign of King Henry VIII , approximately around 1530s. Prior to this, England had followed the Roman Catholic Church. How did England become protestant? 
King Henry VIII was influenced by Martin Luther's idea that the Catholic Church was a fake. 
As religion was one of the issues that threatened to put an end to domestic peace, King Henry, under strong pressure of his subjects, founded the Anglican Church. 
As Henry VIII did not like the amount of money which was spent in the monasteries, he decided that the banks should take care of the Church money which caused a rupture with the Catholic Church. 
Most of the Englishmen rebelled against The Catholic Church when Rome asked them to pay higher taxes to the Church. 
When the Pope refused to give Henry permission to divorce his first wife, Catherine, of the ruling house of Spain, in order to marry Anne Boleyn, Henry put through Parliament a number of bills that severed relation with The Catholic Church and set him up as the head of the Anglican Church of England.
