Edward the V1th,
It was a movement that lessened the power of the Roman Catholic Church. Before, the church could say, "If you don't give us ten bucks, you'll go to hell!" and the people would believe them. After this, many new sectors of Christianity formed and, of course, less people actually believed the church.
Martin Luther. He, because of his extremely scrupulous conscience and false vocation to religious life, decided to reform the Church.He didn't like the selling of indulgences and other corrupt practices. It is important to point out that there were many things that need reform in the Catholic Church, but it was the pope's job, not Martin Luther's.
The reformation did not have a particular date or year...in a way it happened gradually...Martin Luther was the trigger and kind of pushed the refomation to finalisation. If you had to put on a year on it...it would be in 1517! Thanks! :) The reformation did not have a particular date or year...in a way it happened gradually...Martin Luther was the trigger and kind of pushed the refomation to finalisation.

Mostly because of the 6 wives he had. Also because the Tudor period is considered very exciting and dramatic, especially so for those of the royal circles. The majority of the population had lives that in no way resembled that which we imagine the Tudor period to be.

Indulgences tell you not to sin.More exactlyAn indulgence applies to Roman Catholic theology and is a complete or partial remission of punishment for sin. In the Middle Ages certain people within the Roman Catholic church began selling indulgences, and it is this practice that triggered Martin Luther to post his 95 thesis in Wittenberg and begin the Protestant Refomation
Although the question of clerical marriage has nearly always been the source of much debate, it was permitted in the early church. However, it had not been allowed in the Catholic Church for several hundred years by the time of the Reformation (which began around 1517). A period of reforms in the eleventh and twelfth centuries provoked changes in canon law that forbade priests to marry. Most of these changes took place during the First and Second Lateran Councils (1123 and 1139, respectively).
