about this session
Key stage 5 | Subject: History | Topics: Tudors, Elizabethans | Session type: Depth study
Does change always impede stability? Hampton Court Palace saw use by three mid-Tudor kings and queens over a decade, all with very different aims and agendas.
In this session students will evaluate the stability of the monarchy and the extent of the religious turbulence under King Edward VI, Queen Mary I and Queen Elizabeth I.
Exploring the palace buildings themselves, alongside contemporary sources, students will analyse elements of the Mid-Tudor Crisis through the uses of this key location during many significant challenges and victories for Tudor monarchs.
