Act Of Uniformity 1552
The Act of Uniformity 1551, sometimes referred to as the Act of Uniformity 1552, or the Uniformity Act 1551 was an act of the Parliament of England. It was enacted by Edward VI of England to supersede his previous Act of Uniformity 1548 ( 2 & 3 Edw. 6. c. 1). It was one of the last steps taken by the 'boy king' and his councillors to make England a more Protestant country before his death the following year. It replaced the 1549 ''Book of Common Prayer'' authorised by the Act of Uniformity 1548 ( 2 & 3 Edw. 6. c. 1) with a revised and more clearly Protestant version, the 1552 ''Book of Common Prayer''. Cranmer, the principal author of both the 1549 and 1552 versions of the liturgy maintained that there was no theological difference between the two. Anyone who attended or administered a service where this liturgy was not used faced six months imprisonment for a first offence, one year for a second offence, and life for a third. The act was repealed by Mary in 1553. Litu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Treaty Of Chambord
The Treaty of Chambord was an agreement signed on 15 January 1552 at the Château de Chambord between the Catholic King Henry II of France and three Protestant princes of the Holy Roman Empire led by Elector Maurice of Saxony. Based on the terms of the treaty, Maurice ceded the vicariate over the Three Bishoprics of Toul, Verdun, and Metz to France.

After Emperor Charles V had defeated a number of revolting Protestant princes in the Schmalkaldic War, he in 1548 issued the ''geharnischt'' (sharply worded) Augsburg Interim in order to re-integrate the Lutheran movement into the established Catholic Church and to prevent the split of the Empire. To defend their autonomy, several Protestant Imperial States reacted with the 1551 Alliance of Torgau; first of all the Saxon elector Maurice of Wettin, who in the Schmalkaldic War had been a strong s ...
