By 1536, Henry had broken with Rome, seized the church's assets in England and declared the Church of England as the established church with himself as its head. The Act of Supremacy of 1534 confirmed the King's status as having supremacy over the church and required the nobility to swear an oath recognising Henry's supremacy. Henry's daughter, Queen Mary I, a staunch Catholic, attempted to restore the English church's allegiance to the pope and repealed the Act of Supremacy in 1555. Her half-sister, the Protestant Elizabeth I, took the throne in 1558 and the next year, Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy of 1559 that restored the original act.

Sport in EnglandFootball in England was known in the Middle Ages. This sport has grown in the streets, public squares, without any restrictions and regulations. While games often occurred to accidents, injuries, and disabilities and death. Local authorities, then special royal edicts forbade ball games. In the fourteenth century Englishmen this game called football.

Red Bus

The London Bus is one of London's principal icons, the archetypal red rear-entrance Routemaster being recognised worldwide. Although the Routemaster has now been largely phased out of service, with only two heritage routes still using the vehicles,[1] the majority of buses in London are still red and therefore the red double-decker bus remains a widely recognised symbol of the city.
