A few weeks ago, I made a video on Elizabeth I and her religious settlement, in it I referred to the Pilgrimage of Grace that occurred in her father’s reign and the threat it was almost certainly perceived as being. There was a question in the comments section of that video which asked what I meant and what the Pilgrimage of Grace was? So, I thought we could take a look at this today.

I hope you enjoy this video and find it interesting!
