Interesting theory. My view. Elizabeth’s rule of 50+ years and punishment of Catholics was not justified self-defense.
Henry VIII? Loser who started a religion like Joseph Smith and L. Ron Hubbard. He delayed the progress of metallurgy, beer making and global marketing. Notice how the industrial revolution in England started in 1850 with textiles, not 1650.
