The Wicked Bible

Bishops were the mechanism by which monarchs could both control and adjust the church doctrine. Through them, every pulpit in the land was also far and away the most effective communication method by which kings could reach their subjects. To lose control of that would be like losing a leg on which the monarchy stood. The conference did make a few tweaks to Cranmer's glorious book of Common Prayer but one other major thing came from the 1604 conference - King James commissioned a new version of the Bible in English. Now clearly I can't cover that while galloping, but you might take yourself to the second half of episode 338.
