Henry VIII

by Tony Imperato

Published 8 June 1999
Intended as a guide to Henry VII, this book tackles the most important questions surrounding the first Tudor Monarch and the achievements of his 24-year reign. It questions how Henry won the English crown?; what were his aims as king?; how did he pursue his aims?; how far was he successful in achieving his goals? and what was the impact of his reign? It is hoped that this resource will enable students to not only gain an understanding of the changes that took place in late 15th and early 16th century England, but also to develop their arguments based on the knowledge they have acquired. This book is one of a series which is intended as a guide to student's successful transition from GCSE to AS and A Level study. Each book offers a structured approach to its topic, from general overview and analysis of key issues through to reasoned arguments and conclusions. Practical study hints and tips, activities and exam-style questions and suggestions are given.
