The Tudors: Power and Religion (1485-1603)

The House of Tudor has endured as a topic of historical interest. This module will consider why British interest in the Tudors has endured like a long-running soap opera. The module covers the period from the victory of Henry Tudor at Bosworth to the death of Elizabeth I in 1603. It will consider events such as the Reformations under Henry VIII and Edward VI, the reign of the Catholic Mary I and the Spanish Armada during the reign of Elizabeth I. It will also consider the changes in religious devotion in England after the Reformation and the cult of monarchy.
