  • The Early Tudors : Henry VII.: Henry VIII
    THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES ^^. A Epochs of Modern History EDITED BY EDWARD E. MORRIS, M.A., J. SURTEES PHILLPOTTS, B.C.L. AND C. COLBECK, M.A. THE EARLY TUDORS REV. C. E. MOBERLY EPOCHS OF MODERN HISTORY THE EARLY TUDORS HENRY VII.: HENRY VIII. BY THE REV. C. E. MOBERLY, M.A. LATE A MASTER IN RUGBY SCHOOL WITH MAPS AND PLANS NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 1887 PA PREFACE As the plan of works in this Series does not allow of systematic references at the foot of the pages to larger and more detailed histories of the period, it may be well to mention here a few of the books which are likely to be most useful to those who wish to study it more fully. So far as these are complete histories, they must be chiefly modern, as the age was not fertile in contemporary narratives. Thus for Richard III.'s time Mr. Gairdner's excellent Life of that king should be studied, with its appendix on Warbeck; for Henry VII. Lord Bacon's Life, which has been carefully edited for the Cambridge Univer- sity Press by Mr. Lumby. The Stanhope Essay by Mr. Williamson on the ' Foreign Commerce of Eng- land under the Tudors ' gives ample details on this subject in very small compass; and the religious movement from 1485 to 1509 is described to perfec- tion in Mr. Seebohm's delightful work on Colet, Erasmus, and More, and in Cooper's Life of the Lady Margaret. For Henry VIII.

  • London and the Crown in the Reign of Henry VII
    London and the Crown in the Reign of Henry VII Samantha Patricia Harper Institute of Historical Research, School of Advanced Study University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2015 1 Declaration I, Samantha Patricia Harper, hereby declare that this thesis is purely my own work and is the written record of work carried out for the degree of Ph.D. at the Institute of Historical Research and has not been submitted in any previous application for a higher degree. Date: Signed: 2 Abstract The reign of Henry VII suffers from academic neglect, partly as a consequence of its existence on the threshold of the traditional divide between the medieval and the early modern periods. These are frequently regarded as distinct areas of study, each with its own historiographical traditions shaped by the differing nature of the sources for each. Consequently a significant gap exists in the historiography of the development of both the City of London as a capital city and the English monarchy, and in particular the relationship between them. This thesis seeks to address this lacuna. Using the records of the Crown, the City government and its institutions, this study focuses on the political interaction between the Crown and the City. The first two chapters explore the themes of expectation and political affiliation at the start of the reign and assess the changes and continuities from the Yorkist period. It is argued that Henry’s unfamiliarity with the capital and vice versa led to mutual mistrust which resulted in a confrontation which shaped Henry’s perception of the capital for the rest of the reign.

  • Henry VII Overview
    CONSOLIDATION OF THE TUDOR DYNASTY• . ENGLAND, Henry Vil, 1485-1509 REVISION PROGRESS 1 The consolidation of power RECAP England had experienced political instability in the 15th century. The unsuccessful reign of Henry VI had in 1455 in the outbreak of the Wars of the Roses between the royal houses of CUIminated Lancaster and York. Between from 30 years of intermittent 1455and 1485, England had suffered civil war and five violent changes of monarch. The unpopularity of the Yorkist King Richard Ill allowed Henry Tudor to successfully seize the throne at the Bosworth in August 1485, beginning the reign of the Tudors. However Battle of his claim to the throne was weak: • He was descended through the female line, through his mother Lady Margaret Beaufort. • The Beaufort line came from John of Gaunt's third wife; their son had been born before their marriage many considered him illegitimate. and • Henry was the Lancastrian claimant only because there was no other suitable candidate. As a result, the early years of Henry Vll's reign were characterised by insecurity, and by fears of a potential Yorkist challenge. Proclaimed king on the battlefield by the hesitant Lord Stanley (later Earl of Derby), who finally declared for Henry, the new king was cheered on his arrival in London, where the unpopularity of Richard Ill was enough for the public to accept him.

  • Italian Material Culture at the Tudor Court
    Italian Material Culture At The Tudor Court Charlotte Bolland Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London, August 2011 Department of History, Queen Mary, University of London I, Charlotte Bolland, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Charlotte Bolland 1 Abstract This thesis analyses the means by which items of Italian material culture came into the possession of the Tudor monarchs. The different modes of acquisition provide the structure for an investigation into Anglo-Italian relations during the sixteenth century. Although the items that came to England took many forms a synthesising approach is made possible by the fact that the ‘biographies’ of the objects which have been selected all share a common element – they reached England and were owned by the Tudor monarchs as a result of direct contact with Italian individuals. As a result, disparate items such as glass, armour, books, textiles and horses can be discussed as part of a broader whole in which elements of one culture travelled to another. This is not a discussion of the developing dominance of Italian culture over Western Europe during the sixteenth century, for, although the adjective ‘Italian’ carried clear connotations in late sixteenth-century England it appears to have been rarely used in relation to material culture. Instead it is a study of the appreciation of technical skill and the attempts that were made to appropriate it, which in turn provides a point of access to the life histories of the Italians who came to England in the sixteenth century and the way in which their interaction with the highest levels of the court played a role in shaping the idea of Italy and the Italian in England.

  • John Colet and Sir Thomas More - Part Two Transcript
    John Colet and Sir Thomas More - Part Two Transcript Date: Tuesday, 9 June 2009 - 2:00PM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall Thomas More, John Colet & the London Mercery Professor Jonathan Arnold The years between 1509 and 1519 formed a remarkable and creative decade in the history of the Mercers' Company of London. At the heart of the Mercers' business were two great English Christian humanists, Thomas More and John Colet. They both played a major role in several prominent events that shaped not only their own careers but the history of London itself. The decade began with acceptance into the Mercers' Company, which prefaced More's immediate involvement in the company's legal business and the first negotiations for the foundation of Colet's new St. Paul's School, which celebrates its 500th anniversary this year. It ended with both men leaving London life, the first in order to attend to the King's business in 1518, the other dying of the sweating sickness a year later. Although More became a more notable historical figure, Colet was equally important in his service to the City of London and was influential in More's life not least as his spiritual director.[1] More and Colet shared much in common: they were both Londoners, probably attending the same school and both having well- known Londoners as fathers: John More, a judge, and Henry Colet, twice lord mayor. Both Colet and More were close to Henry VIII and both fell foul of him, though at different times, in different ways and with different results.
