Catholics were increasingly persecuted as potential traitors, while Puritans, who wanted further reforms, also faced repression. By the end of Elizabeth's reign, Protestantism was firmly established as the religion of the state, but religious tensions persisted, setting the stage for future conflicts in the Stuart period.% Row Count 12 (+ 12)
