Henry VII, the first monarch of the Tudor Dynasty was well-known for his fiscal and political prowess. Henry VII strengthened his own weak claim to the throne of England after his famous defeat of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, by bringing querulous nobles to heal, marrying into the powerful House of York (one of the lead contenders for the throne), raising revenues to the crown, and by forming strategic alliances with foreign kingdoms (i.e. Spain, France, and the Holy Roman Empire). Although considered calculating and somewhat ruthless, Henry VII’s success defined the House of Tudor and set the stage for England in the 16th century.

You will split into a group of 4 and analyze the links and primary documents below to gain a better understanding of life in England under Henry VII, the first Tudor ruler. Who was Henry VII? What did he do? Was he successful and why (i.e. what tools and methods did he use to strengthen himself)? What is your opinion of this Tudor? When you have read up on Henry VII, discuss his legacy.

Your final task is to role play a scenario from the late 15 th century; one of you will play Henry VII, one Margaret Beaufort, one Elizabeth of York, and the rest will be advisors. Consider the Warbeck Insurrection, what would you do as Henry VII? Pretend you have called your advisors to the Star Chamber to discuss the matter. How would you react to someone threatening your throne? Decide how best to act to put down this rebellion. Draw up your royal decree and prepare to send it to your nobles. Keep in mind that you have a weak claim to the throne, that your finances are weak, and that your government and family hinges on your success.

While viewing the documents and links remember Henry VII’s motives, his perspectives, and the dangers of the time period.

ENJOY and HAVE FUN!

The King of England was a very athletic and intelligent man. He was fierce and strong. People were afraid of him, and for good reason. He was famous for beheading people! Especially his wife, whom out of six, he beheaded two. Undoubtedly, the thing Henry VIII was most famous for was having six wives! He spent most of his life frustrated at the lack of male children his wives were supplying him with.

Many historians see Henry VIII as one of the most ruthless of the Tudor regime. Changing the relationship between church and state as he saw fit. Before dying in 1547 the king mad sure that his only son Edward was educated in the Protestant faith rather than Catholic. Consequently England’s main religion was Protestant.

Mary I (r. 1553-1558)Mary I (r. 1553-1558)Mary I was the only child of Henry VIII by his first wife: Katherine of Aragon. The birth of Mary brought with it mixed emotions. Henry VIII, disappointed at the birth of a girl, sought to divorce his wife and marry another in order to gain a son. Mary’s mother, Queen Katherine, fought hard for her rights, but arguably died unsuccessful. From an early age, Mary was downtrodden and neglected, but she was well educated and she used that education to shape her future. Mary was also raised a staunch Catholic. Her faith would define her for the rest of her life. Mary’s future was always in doubt; would she rule? Would she marry? What was her life to be like after her bastardization? Many Acts of Parliament were passed with regards to the succession, but eventually, Mary was inserted in the line after her half-brother: Edward. Mary came to the throne under trying circumstances and reigned for a short time. You decide why posterity knows her as “Bloody Mary.”

The House of Tudor was one that undoubtedly altered the course of British history. Without people like Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, Great Britain would not be what it is today. The Tudors ruled England for over a century and put their mark on every Englishman’s heart. Through the domestic and foreign policies pursued by these five monarchs, not only the British Isles were changed. The religious and dynastic strategies of the Tudors changed the course of events for the entire world.
