In 1517, a certain Dr Beale, rector of St Mary Spitall in London,
had roused the capital's mob by laying the blame for an increase in
poverty squarely upon the shoulders of grasping foreigners. 'God
has given England to Englishmen,' he fumed, and 'as birds would
defend their nest, so ought Englishmen to cherish and defend
themselves and to hurt and grieve aliens for the common weal.' But
migration was not the only factor influencing Tudor attitudes to
Europe. War, religion, commerce and dynastic security were all
critical in linking England to developments abroad, and in ways
that remain strikingly relevant today. What were the forces that
shaped the shifting perspectives of Tudor men and women and their
rulers towards a continent at the crossroads? And what, in turn,
were the responses of sixteenth-century Europeans to their
counterparts across the Channel? The Tudors and Europe looks at a
time when the very survival of England hung critically in the
balance and asks if it has lessons for the present.
