Lesson 10 in Rebellion and disorder under the Tudors, 1485-1603 spec - for ‘Aspects in breadth: Controlling a fractious nation – changes in Tudor government 1485-1603’.

This lesson begins with a recap, comparing the 1534 and 1559 religious settlements.

The main bulk of the lesson begins with Elizabeth’s ‘Golden Speech’, and then looks backwards at how relations between Elizabeth and her parliament reached that point. It deals with the definition of three key terms; Royal prerogative Parliamentary bill, and Petition. This is then followed by examining three key events; War with Spain; Royal prerogative and monopolies; Parliament of 1601. There are detailed notes.
