Russia and its Rulers 1855-1964 Extensive and Useful Essay Plans for the Thematic Questions. Although content revision (taken from various textbooks) can be very useful, I decided to write ‘skeletal’ and memorable essay plans for many possible questions that could come up for the thematic side of the exam (two 25-mark essays). The Essay Plans have been written for 32 ‘made-up’ possible questions (questions that have not yet come up in an exam paper, but have come up in textbooks written for this course). Nature of Government: 14 questions, Economy and Society: 12 questions and Wars: 6 questions . The Plans have been designed so that when you enter into the exam, you already know how to tackle the question: Introduction (establish criteria and set out three to four themes); Theme Paragraphs (what is the sub-theme and then synthesis across the period followed by interim judgement) and finally coming to an overall judgement at the end by bringing together your themes, factors and criteria. Hopefully these exam plans will be very useful for active revision, but should you have any questions regarding this resource or the course in general, please do not hesitate to email alevelrevisionmadeeasy@gmail.com. If you do like this resource, a review would also be greatly appreciated.

The Crusades and Crusader States FULL Revision Notes (OCR and the majority of the AQA A-Level History courses). These revision notes (PDF and Word versions included) are incredibly detailed and extensive to ensure thorough knowledge of the the First, Second and Third Crusade as well as the Crusader States. This resource contains two revision packs - one with detailed notes for the First Crusade and Crusader States, the other is for the Second and Third Crusade. Revision Notes have been laid out in a clear way (topics and sub-topics) and have been written in accordance with the A Level specification requirements. *Example: * Why did the situation in Western Europe encourage Crusading? Theoretical issues: Just War / The Truce of God and the Peace of God movements Practical motives: Desire of the Popes to bolster their power, the wish to defeat the Muslims threatening Europe and the need to preserve the position of the eastern Roman Empire. The Issue of Religion: Religion and the Church had a great hold over peoples’ lives which were often short and brutal. Hell was a very real fear and the offer from the Church to shorten your time there or avoid it altogether by undertaking pilgrimage of a crusade appealed to many. Subtopic: The Just War One of the reasons why crusading became an acceptable, and even desirable, duty for a Christian knight was that it was seen as morally justified. This belief in a Just War or holy war was derived from a number of sources. • The Bible, especially the Old Testament, was full of examples of fighting heroes, such as Joshua and King David. The victories of the Israelites over their enemies were viewed as triumphs for God over heathen people. • The Greek Philosopher Aristotle had used the phrase ‘Just War’ to describe war, which was, as he put it, ‘for the sake of peace.’ Thank you for your interest in this source.

Early Tudors and Mid-Tudor Crisis HUGE Revision Bundle (11 separate documents in total)! All the notes required for all four of the themes : Henry VII’s Government and Domestic Policies, Henry VII’s Foreign Policy, Henry VIII and Wolsey and Henry VIII’s government after 1529. *Example Layout: Central Government The King’s Council: • Council chosen by the King. Most of the members were either members of the nobility or the church. However, some important members came from the gentry. • However, one change Henry imposed was that he drew his chief advisors from the lesser landowners, rather than from aristocratic families. • Although there were over 200 councillors during his reign, meetings were attended by a much smaller number, and he often relied on an inner group so that the efficiency of the central government was improved. • The inner group included: Lord Chancellor, Morton; the Lord Privy Seal, Fox; the Lord Treasurer, Dynham; and five others. Henry also used smaller committees from within the Council, but made the practice more frequent, with the establishment of a Court of Requests, Court of General Surveyors and the Court Learned in the Law. • Court of Requests: This was part of the Royal Council and dealt with individual requests from ordinary people and hence gained the nickname ‘Court for Poor Men’s Causes.’ • Court of General Surveyors: This checked the revenue coming in from crown lands and those lands of which the king was feudal overlord. • Court of Learned in Law: Its task was to deal with problems concerning royal lands and rights. It was important in enforcing bonds and recognisances, so that by the end of Henry’s reign it was feared and hated. * Essay Structure Sheets and ‘Cheat Sheets’ for the Themes Essay and Source Question. All notes for the Mid-Tudor Crisis : Stability of Monarchy, Religion and Rebellions. Included is an incredibly helpful and interesting video on Henry VII, the Winter King. This video was used in order to inform the notes. Thank you for your interest in this resource.
