This is a guide for module 1 of Unit 1C (AQA) but suitable for all exam boards that offer this course: ‘The Tudors: England 1483-1603': Consolidation of the Tudor Dynasty: England 1485-1547. This should be read in conjunction with the other Unit 1C modules for A/S and A2 (available in the shop). Part 1 (available in the shop) focuses on an overview comparing the monarchial system Henry VII ‘inherited’ with the one he wished to create. (This guide could also be used as background for Unit 2B.) Part 2 of this first module is also available, which defines the Renaissance and sets forth arguments- as used to be merely accepted- as to whether Henry VII fits that definition. Part 3 discusses the nature of his initial moves to establish the ‘Tudor dynasty’ and maintain his early tenuous grip on the throne of England. But this is part 4, which goes into depth about his actions and motivations for said actions after the Battle of Bosworth and until 1495. It also summarises important Acts and Statutes for this decade (though more depth on them and all his political policy will be/is available on the shop.) Without this context it is difficult to ascertain exactly what Henry VII did to consolidate the monarchy, and even if he succeeded, which is the whole point of this module. At A/S and A level you need to link events and policies if you want an A grade.

Made for the AQA exam board but suitable for all exam boards that do this topic, it is useful for teachers, tutors, parents and pupils for a frame of reference for a topic that used to be seen by traditional historians as an 'easy', black and white period of history- how we know it was no such thing.
