This course is designed to help with developing information on the reigns of the Tudor and Stuart monarchs. It will focus on the roles of the monarchs and the crucial issues they faced in:

• the Reformation and development of the Church of England
• the increase and decrease in royal power
  
• England's relations with its British neighbours
• England at war
  

This course is taken in the first part of Year 8 and it is an opportunity to cover a broad sweep of history from outside Europe and to explore changes over time.

It will be assessed continuously throughout with an open-book end of unit final assessment.
