Henry VIII and the Reformation Parliament
Author: John Patrick Coby
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469647567
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Henry VIII and the Reformation Parliament transforms students into English lords and commoners during the tumultuous years of 1529 to 1536. Cardinal Wolsey has just been dismissed as lord chancellor for failing to obtain an annulment of King Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Thomas More, the humanist author of Utopia, is named as Wolsey's replacement. More presides over Parliament, which the king has summoned in the hope that it somehow will find the means to invalidate his marriage, thus freeing him to marry his new love, Lady Anne Boleyn. Matters of state also apply, because Henry has no male heir to carry on the Tudor line, and Queen Catherine has passed her childbearing years. But will Parliament be content with solving the king's marital and dynastic problems? For there are some in Parliament who wish to use the royal divorce to disempower the English church, to sever its ties to papal Rome, and to change it doctrinally from Catholicism to Lutheranism. Others, however, oppose the divorce, oppose secular supremacy and independence from Rome, and oppose this heretical creed filtering in from the continent. More is their leader, for as long as he can survive. Thomas Cromwell, reputed a Machiavellian, leads the king's party. The king himself is ambivalent about the reformation unleashed by his "great matter," as the divorce campaign is called, and so the conservatives are loosed to prosecute reformers as heretics, while the reformers are loosed to prosecute conservatives as traitors. Meanwhile, outside England sits the greatest power in all of Europe, the Holy Roman Empire under King Charles V of Spain--who happens to be the nephew of Catherine! How will the emperor respond to this effort to put aside his aunt? At issue in the game is the clash of four contending ideas: traditionalist Christianity, reformist Protestantism, Renaissance humanism, and Machiavellian statecraft. Depending on the outcome of this contest, the modern nation-state will, or will not, be born.

Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
A popular image of Henry VIII is that he was something of a hot-blooded womanising, fornicating tyrant who broke with Roman Catholicism to divorce and remarry over and over again.Henry VIII was 'a veritable Bluebeard 'who died of an excess of food, drink and sex - or was he?Henry VIII, the Reign a New Look does exactly what it says on the cover, this concise book takes a new, fresh and innovative look at the reign of Henry VIII.There was more to the period than the man that was Henry VIII. The eminent Tudor historian Sir Geoffrey Elton once said of him '... we surely cannot accept an argument unsupported by evidence which ascribes to him alone the mastery of events, the making of policy and the detailed and specific government of the country.' Sir Geoffrey was quite right, the evidence is just not there - it does not exist - to support the popular image of Henry VIII.The events of the reign, however, can be ascribed to other more influential people than this fickle, malleable and ill-equipped man who was Henry VIII, King of England.This book uses the evidence to support a new look at the tumultuous reign of Henry VIII, backed up by hundreds of corroborating documents compiled from the vast Calendar of Letters and Papers, Foreign and Domestic, of the Reign of Henry VIII: preserved in the Public Record Office, the British Museum, and elsewhere in England, together with maps and illustrations.These are not merely footnoted - references but are the full, detailed Calendar entries, transcribed word for word - these are the facts.The eBook edition facilitates the inclusion of the documentary evidence directly accessible within the publication - that is to say, the transcriptions are included in the eBook.The paperback is supported by two paper volumes of the transcriptions in Henry VIII, the Reign-the Notes (Part 1 and Part 2) which may be purchased separately.Alternatively, all the notes are available on the website Henry VIII, the Reign - for FREE.

Documents of the English Reformation
Author: Gerald Bray
Publisher: James Clarke & Company
ISBN: 0227906896
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 688
Book Description
The Reformation era has long been seen as crucial in developing the institutions and society of the English-speaking peoples, and study of the Tudor and Stuart era is at the heart of most courses in English history. The influence of the Book of Common Prayer and the King James version of the Bible created the modern English language, but until the publication of Gerald Bray's Documents of the English Reformation there had been no collection of contemporary documents available to show how these momentous social and political changes took place. This comprehensive collection covers the period from 1526 to 1700 and contains many texts previously relatively inaccessible, along with others more widely known. The book also provides informative appendixes, including comparative tables of the different articles and confessions, showing their mutual relationships and dependence. With fifty-eight documents covering all the main Statutes, Injunctions and Orders, Prefaces to prayer books, Biblical translations and other relevant texts, this third edition of Documents of the English R
