A level Tudor History Induction Work: Phase 2

Welcome!

- Well done for completing phase one of the induction work. By now you should have some background knowledge on the Wars of the Roses and an understanding of how dangerous life in Tudor England could be. Now you’re going to do some chronology and genealogy work to ensure you know who was who, and also learn about some key events in Tudor England.

What work is being set?

- In this second phase, you have been set the following work: 1. Tudor Timeline Task 2. Create a Tudor Family Tree.

How long should I spend on this work?

- It is expected that you spend 2.5 hours on this second phase of work.

Who should I send this work to and / or who should I contact with any questions?

- Mrs King [email protected] (task 1) - Mr Hulm [email protected] (task 2)

How and when to submit work (please bear in mind that external applicants to the sixth form will not have been set up on Teams, SMHW, etc)

- Please submit work via e-mail by the Phase 2 deadline – Wednesday 15th July.

TASK 1:

The events below are already in the correct chronological order. Put the events on a timeline. For each event write the date that it happened and one or two sentences to explain what it was/what happened. For example, for the Treaty of Greenwich you’ll need to write the date, who the treaty was with and what the treaty was all about. You only need to write the dates on the ones that relate to the deaths of the kings/queens. Take a photograph of your timeline or save a copy electronically to email to me.

• Battle of Bosworth • Henry VII becomes King • Treaty of Etaples • Cornish Rebellion • Truce of Ayton • Henry VII dies and Henry VIII becomes king • Field of the cloth of gold • The Act of Supremacy (the first one) • Pilgrimage of Grace • Treaty of Greenwich • Henry VIII dies and Edward VI becomes king • Introduction of Book of Common Prayer • Western Rebellion • Kett’s Rebellion • Edward VI dies and Mary I becomes queen • The marriage of Mary I to Philip of Spain • Wyatt’s Rebellion • Mary I dies and Elizabeth I becomes queen • Act of Supremacy (the second one) • Act of Uniformity • The Babington Plot • Execution of Mary Queen of Scots • The Northern Rebellion • Elizabeth I dies and James I becomes king

If you have any books on the Tudors at home, you should use them to find the information. Otherwise use Google to search for these key events.

TASK 2:

Create a Tudor Family Tree.

Starting with Henry VII, create a Tudor family tree. For Henry VII go back as far as his grandparents, Owen Tudor and Catherine of Valois (the widow of Henry V). Finish with Elizabeth I’s cousin, James I of England (second cousin of Elizabeth I). For each of the monarch’s children I would like you to identify who they married. This is because they often married into royal families of other nations/kingdoms. To find the information you need just type the monarch’s name into Google. This will often bring up a list of the monarch’s spouses and children. Henry VII and Henry VIII will need the most space. This is because Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I did not have children and in the case of Edward and Elizabeth did not marry either. For James I, note down his grandparents and parents. This will make it clearer why he had a claim to the throne.

You will need a large piece of paper to create the family tree. Take a picture of it when you have finished and email it to me.
