Henry VII A Level Bundle

**AQA GCSE A Level 1C The Tudors: England, 1485–1603** I have produced this bundle of resources on Henry VII to help A level history students access the course and make the transition from GCSE to A Level smoothly. Henry VII is a fascinating character to study and these lessons explore the difficulty and demands of becoming a King in the Fifteenth Century. The enquiry question throughout this bundle of resources will be to question the extent of Henry’s hold on power from the battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 through to his death in 1509. Students will learn how effectively Henry restored and developed the powers of the monarchy from the chaos of the Wars of the Roses. They will assess his character and aims and his continuing use of Government institutions, from councils, parliament and local lords to the changes he made in his collection of the royal finances. They will judge the significance of individuals in his reign as well as the economic developments in trade and exploration. Students will look at his limited aims in foreign policy and the consequences of his diplomacy and treaties with Scotland and other foreign powers. Finally they will gauge the role of religion and the Church in Tudor England under Henry VII as well as the development of the arts and learning and the rise of humanist ideas. The lessons are as follows: L1 Introduction L2 Wars of the Roses L3 Character of Henry VII L4 Battle of Bosworth Field (free resource) L5 Aims of Henry VII L6 Consolidation of Power L7 Henry VII and propaganda L8 Henry VII and Government L9 Henry VII and the nobility L10 Henry VII and finance L11 Stafford and Lovell Rebellions L12 Lambert Simnel L13 Perkin Warbeck L14 Introduction to Henry VII’s foreign policy L15 Breton Crisis L16 Henry VII and Ireland L17 Economy and Trade under Henry VII L18 The Church and religion L19 Humanism and the arts The lessons include the two types of exam question used, with examples of how to tackle them, using model answers, helpful hints and tips, structuring and scaffolding as well as markschemes. However, please refer to the AQA website for further assessment materials as they are subject to copyright. The lessons are also differentiated and fully resourced and allow students to reach the very top marks. This is the first of four bundles I have created for the Tudors A Level history course. If you have any questions about the lessons, please email me via my TES shop, or any other information about the course. I would also welcome any reviews, which would be gratefully appreciated.
