Tudors: History of England. From Henry VIII to Elizabeth I. Akraid P.

The history of England is a continuous movement and a series of constant changes. But the whole history of England, starting with primitiveness, permeates continuity, so that the main thing in it is not changes, but constancy. Until now, in England, an inextricable connection with the past, with traditions and customs, is felt. Until now, this country, which has always been one, resists changes in any aspect of life. Peter Akraid shows the origins of the centuries -old immutability of England, its conservatism and commitment to the past. This book highlights the period of government in England of the Tudor dynasty. This is a story about a break with Rome undertaken by Henry VIII, and the king’s tireless desire to gain an ideal wife and ideal heir. The story of how the brief rule of the teenage king Eduard VI was followed by the violent revival of Catholicism, the tragic manifestations of which were executions and reprisals, committed by Maria I, nicknamed Maria Bloody, as well as the grand reign of Elizabeth I, who eventually brought stability, albeit noted by civil strife, conspiracies against the queen and a large-scale Anglo-Spanish war. But first of all, this is the history of the English Reformation that was significantly different from the Reformation in Europe and the formation of the Anglican Church, because at the beginning of the 16th century England still remained largely the feudal country and often turned to Rome.

At the end of the 16th century, it was already a country where the fair administration was the obligation of the state, not the Church, and where people began to independently look for answers to their minds, ceasing to hope for those who stood at the head of the country The historical and literary work of a brilliant British author, equipped with 43 color illustrations, will be of interest to a wide range of readers.
