To what extent was there a Mid-Tudor Crisis? (1547-1558)

Firstly we must define 'crisis'- if we take crisis to mean that the monarchy was at breaking point, or the point of being overthrown, then there was not a crisis, although there were serious issues going on during this period. (Introduction)Then we will go into three paragraphs, discussing leadership first, i.e. the monarchs (or rulers as there were two protectors under Edward VI). In this paragraph we will talk about succession (went broadly as it should), Parliament being used effectively (plus examples), the privy council retaining members (such as William Paget) and foreign policy. Then we will move into the economy for the second paragraph, the area where it can be mostly argued that there was a crisis, and then religion for the third.We will then end with a conclusion saying that although there were many issues during this period, if crisis is defined as the breaking point of the monarchy, then there was not a mid-Tudor crisis.
