There really has been a bit of a Tudor Court season on the BBC in the last month. I hope very much that you got a chance to catch Thomas Penn’s excellent programme on Henry VII – Winter King. I have put the iplayer link to it here, and I will put a copy of his acclaimed book of the same name in the school library. It certainly challenged a couple of my views about the man’s personality. There was also Diarmaid MacCulloch’s first class biography of Thomas Cromwell last weekend. This link will take you to the iplayer for that programme, and this link will take you to the season’s main page.
Tomorrow at 9.00 is The Time Traveller’s Guide to Elizabethan England. Enjoy…
Mr Kydd.
