This book provides a political narrative of the rise and fall of
the Tudor monarchy - key to understanding the history of the years
1450 to 1660.
The theme is the relationship between the Crown and the
aristocracy and how a partnership was created partly by the actions
of the Crown and partly by the changing composition and attitudes
of the political nation. It begins with the chaos of factional
quarrels which was the political life of England under Henry VI in
the 1450s and then examines the rebuilding of the strength of royal
government under Edward IV, Henry VII and Henry VIII. That
government was tested in various ways under Edward VI and Mary,
reached its peak under Elizabeth, and declined under James I. The
partnership finally broke down in the civil war of the 1640s and
the Tudor monarchy collapsed.
This is the life cycle of a political system created out of
necessity and fashioned by a mixture of vision and circumstance.
After its collapse the Republic failed to create a viable
alternative, but the resurrection of the old system after 1660 was
more apparent than real.
