Here<\/a>\u00a0Clifton Davies<\/strong> argues that \u201cresearch shows the term \u201cTudor\u201d was barely ever used during the time of Tudor monarchs\u201d continuing that \u201cyears of trawling through contemporary documents yielded almost no references \u2013 with only one poem on the accession of James I (James VI of Scotland) recognising the transition from Tudor to Stuart\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here<\/a>\u00a0Philippa Gregory<\/strong> and Dr Robert Hutchinson<\/strong> discuss on the Today programme why novelists are so fascinated with the Tudor period. \u201cWe\u2019re interested now in historical realism\u2026 the grime of it, as well as the rare moments of glamour at the top.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Here<\/a>\u00a0Dr Steven Gunn<\/strong> explains why \u201cbetween 1558 and 1560, almost three-quarters of fatal accidents took place during the summer months.\u201d This can be blamed on \u201ccart crashes, dangerous harvesting techniques, horse accidents and windmill mangling were among the perils facing the Tudor farm worker.\u201d\u00a0It is of course a bit of fluff, but also perhaps a reminder\u00a0that little of the\u00a0renaissance reached the rural England where over 85% of people lived.\u00a0\u00a0This<\/a>\u00a0link goes on the strange and stupid deaths of many Tudors (if you accept that term !) \u2013 however, click on the poster\u00a0to shows that there were other sure-fire ways to die\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
