This course explores English history during the reign of the Tudor dynasty: Henry VII, his son Henry VIII, and grandchildren Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. This period is best-known for the dramas of dynastic history, and the highly-contested establishment of the Church of England. It also saw tremendous intellectual and cultural creativity, and crucial developments in trade and industry. Further afield, relations with the rest of the British Isles, and with continental European powers, along with the beginnings of England’s global role, will also be examined.
