Act of Succession (1534) – An Act passed by the Reformation Parliament that made Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn’s daughter Elizabeth next in line to the throne, instead of Henry’s older daughter (with Catherine of Aragon), Mary. Anyone who disagreed, such as Thomas More, could be accused of treason. Later, this act was repealed and Henry VIII named his successors (in order) as Edward, Mary and Elizabeth.
