The Later Tudors is a fascinating period of study, and who better to lead us through the series than Oxford Historian Dr Glyn Redworth, an early modern history specialist, and Chief History A Level Examiner Nick Fellows?

This was followed by the first female monarch in English history, Mary I, who threatened the independence of the kingdom by risking marriage with a foreign prince and the reintroduction of Catholicism. Even the reign of Elizabeth was not without its risks, as the young queen struggled to impose her will on evangelical councillors who were determined that nothing should prevent the reimposition of their brand of Protestantism.
