This module offers a survey of Britain and Ireland under the rule of the Tudor royal dynasty. It ranges chronologically from the accession of Henry VII (Henry Tudor) with the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 to the death of Elizabeth I in 1603. It examines the lives and reigns of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I (Mary Tudor, often known as Bloody Mary'), and Elizabeth I. In the course of this period, a number of momentous changes occurred in the religion, society, and politics of England, Wales, and Ireland - fundamentally altering long-held ideas about the nature of authority, monarchy, female rulers, the church, and much else. This module examines these in some depth, from the end of the Wars of the Roses and accession of the Tudor dynasty in 1485 to Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon (the first of his many wives) and his break from Rome to the restoration of Catholicism under his daughter Mary, and the so-called
Golden Age' of Elizabeth I - who was known as `The Virgin Queen.' Seminars will allow students to critically assess the central concepts and issues, work closely with primary sources in the form of contemporary writings and images, as well as engage with modern historiography on the subject.
