Protestantism is a branch of form of Christianity that originated along with the Reformation, which was a movement against The Catholic Church for what Protestants considered to be the errors in their faith.
In the Series[]
In the Kingdom of France, Protestantism and The French Wars of Religion begin resurfacing in Season Two, and the conflict between Protestants and Catholics continues well into the third and fourth seasons.
In the Kingdom of England, Protestantism is its core religion, with Queen Elizabeth believeing in the faith as well, much to the resentment of English Catholics.
In the Kingdom of Scotland, for seasons one, two, and halfway into the third, Scotland is Catholic as its regent Marie de Guise upholds the faith. However, after her death, the Protestant James Stuart came to power, along with the Lords of Congregation, including the preacher John Knox.
In Season Four, the Catholic Queen Mary returns to Scotland, but she never imposes her religion onto anyone else and attempts to keep the peace between Catholics and Protestants.
