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.
