ReplyDeleteHenry Vll
Henry Vlll
Edward Vl
Lady Jane Grey
Mary l
Elizabeth l
Henry VIII was Henry VII’s second son and he became king because his older brother, Arthur, died when he was only 15.
Edward VI was Henry VIII’s only male heir. However, he was young and in very bad health and died when he was 15 years old. He named Lady Jane Grey as his successor but she was queen for only 9 days.
Mary I was the only child of Henry VIII and his first wife, Katherine of Aragon. She was married to Prince Philip of Spain but she didn’t produce an heir so her half-sister, Elizabeth became queen when she died.
Elizabeth I didn’t marry and was queen by herself which was unusual for the time She also didn’t have any children so when she died in 1603, the Tudor dynasty came to an end.

ReplyDelete2.Not many children went to school in Tudor times. Those that did go were mainly the sons of wealthy or working families who could afford to pay the attendance fee. Boys began school at the age of 4 and moved to grammar school when they were 7. Girls were either kept at home by their parents to help with housework or sent out to work to bring money in for the family.
3.Boys were educated for work and the girls for marriage and running a household. The wealthiest families hired a tutor to teach the boys at home.
4.At school, pupils often had to speak in Latin. They were also taught Greek, religion and mathematics. The boys practiced writing in ink by copying the alphabet and the Lord's Prayer.Hornbook

5.It was usual for children to attend six days a week. The school day started at 7:00 am in winter and 6:00 am in summer. It finished about 5:00 pm.
6.Petty schools had shorter hours, mostly to allow poorer boys the opportunity to work as well.
7.People in Tudor times were very religious and were prepared to die for their beliefs. It must have been very hard for them during the 118 years the Tudor kings and Queens ruled because they were often forced to change their religion depending on the religion of the reigning monarch.
8.Many laws were passed about religion. These were passed by Kings and queens who wanted to make people follow the same religion that they did.
9.The Tudor period is the time when the Tudor family came to the throne. Henry VIII is the most famous tudor king. You can see many Tudor houses in England today. Some of them are over 500 years old!?
10.Most ordinary homes in Tudor times were half timbered - they had wooden frames and the spaces between were filled with small sticks and wet clay called wattle and daub.
11.Tudor houses are known for their 'black-and-white' effect.

King Henry Vlll, Henry's son, successfully united England and Wales under one system of government. The two countries were joined in 1536.
Henry Vlll wanted a male heir, but his wife had not given birth to a son. Henry wanted to divorce her and take a new wife. The Roman Catholic Church refused to grant the divorce. In order to gain his divorce, Henry had to establish the Church of England and end Catholicism.
Henry passed a law in 1534 making himself head of the Church of England. This act allowed him to divorce his wife and led to the formation of the Protestant Church of England. The Protestant movement was known as the Reformation.
