1 Pembroke College, Cambridge History 112D England United and Disunited: from the Wars of the Roses to Regicide, Dr Jessica Sharkey

2 Course synopsis The years between Henry VII s victory over Richard 111 at Bosworth Field in 1485 and Charles I s execution at Whitehall, London in 1649, were a momentous period in English history. Dynasties were established then disestablished, the Catholic Church was abolished and the country s political framework faced upheaval. Henry VIII was to be one of the most powerful kings in British history; Elizabeth I, faced with enormous international and domestic difficulties reigned with great skill for 45 years; Charles I s military defeat and execution made way for a Republic (for the only time in English History). No corner of England escaped the force of these changes and their consequences were wide-ranging and revolutionary. This course will provide an overview of the period. Topics covered will include: the foundation of the Tudor dynasty; the Reformation; Tudor and Stuart monarchy and its critiques; rebellions and popular protest; the Civil Wars and regicide. This course aims to move beyond the traditional Anglo-centric history of the period and place England within a wider British and European context. In lectures and classes, we will make extensive use of a diverse selection of primary sources including ambassadorial reports, religious writings, poetry, portraiture and acts of Parliament. Introductory reading list: Susan Bridgen, New worlds, lost worlds: the rule of the Tudors (2000) Barry Coward, The Stuart age: England (1994; and subsequent editions) Christopher Haigh, English Reformations (1993) David Starkey, The English court from the Wars of the Roses to the Civil War (1987) Kevin Sharpe, Selling the Tudor monarchy (2009) Michael Braddick, God s fury, England s fire (2008) 2

In particular we will be focusing on the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII. We will be using a variety of primary sources to explore some of the introductory ideas and events of the period, as covered by the lectures this week.

5 3 United and Disunited Our final seminar will consider what had led to the regicide of In particular we will discuss how the Stuarts dealt with their Tudor inheritance and the similarities and differences between the rule of the two dynasties. We will examine broad themes across the period, from 1485 to 1649, and consider how much had changed during those 164 years. Essential Reading Extract from James I s speech to Parliament, 1610 Extract from the Triennial Act, 1641 Extract from Cromwell s speech at the Putney Debates, 1647 Report of Charles I s speech at his execution, 1648 Image of Van Dyck s Charles I on Horseback Image of Titian s Charles V on Horseback Christianson, P., The causes of the English Revolution: a reappraisal, Journal of British Studies, 15 (1976) Elton, G.R., A high road to civil war? in C.H.
