'Rebellions before 1550 were primarily driven by religious discontent.' Assess the validity of this view.

Introduction:
Early before 1550, the church played a major role in maintaining order in society and provided the outward structures of community life. The turning point for religious order was in Henry VIII’s reign when he had the Break with Rome, however prior to this, religion maintained its social role and only a few challenged the church’s authority, such as the Lollards. 
Conclusion:
Before 1550, rebellions played a part in social disorder through the reign of these particular Tudor monarchs. However, the extent to which these rebellions were primarily driven by religious discontent is arguable as all rebellions seem to have socio-economic grievances that were used to drive the rebellions further, even if they were not the main motives of the rebellions. Through Henry VII’s reign, rebellions consisted of conspiracies which attempted to weaken his claim to the throne. The rebellions in Henry VIII’s reign are arguably closely linked to the upheaval of economic factors behind the religious changes, especially with monastic lands. Edward was left with a split in society due to the reforms of his father and continued to exploit his views of Protestantism, leading to rebellions primarily driven by religious discontent.
