Mary I obviously relealed the Act of Supremacy when she was Queen but Elizabeth I's Parliament passed the 1559 Act of Supremacy of 1559 to restore Henry VIII's original Act of Supremacy. There was a difference though - in Elizabeth's Oath of Supremacy, which had to be signed, her title was given as "Supreme Governor" rather than "Supreme Head" to show that she was not putting herself ahead of Christ who is the Head of the Church.

I thought he created the title "Supreme Head of the Church" to show that he and not the pope, was now the leader of the church in England.
