Much of the supposed Scriptural justification is simply an afterthought. Don't agree with your comment above but I do agree that knowing the history behind Catholic-Protestant rivalry is fascinating.
date back to Henry, Edward, Mary, and Elizabeth
Don't forget Charles I, the Civil War, James II and Bonny Prince Charlie. Fascinating stuff.
James was a rotten piece of work, his elder brother was a good fellow though. And of course Bonnie Prince Charlie would have done better if he could have stayed sober (and listened to his wiser advisors like Lord George Murray.)
Don't forget Guy Fawkes!
