Introduction.

Theme of my abstract is the story about a history of England in Tudors the period. I always was interested in a history, and in particular a history of Middle Ages. I with pleasure read stories about medieval fights and battles, storms of fortresses and the castles. For this reason I have chosen a history of England during the Tudors period.

The century of Tudor rule (1485-1603) is often thought of as a most glorious period in English history. Henry VII built the foundations of a wealthy nation state and a powerful monarchy. His son, Henry VIII, kept a magnificent court, and made the Church in England truly English by breaking away from the Roman Catholic Church. Finally, his daughter Elizabeth brought glory to the new state by defeating the powerful navy of Spain, the greatest European power of the time. The base of the British colonial empire has been incorporated. Tudors bring Wales, Ireland and Scotland under English control. The changes in government, society and the economy of England were more far-reaching than they had been for centuries. But most far-reaching of all were the changes in ideas, partly as a result of the rebirth of intellectual attitudes known as the Renaissance, which had spread slowly northwards from its beginnings in Italy. In England the nature of the Renaissance was also affected by the Protestant Reformation and the economic changes that followed from it. During the Tudor age England experienced one of the greatest artistic periods in its history.
