This new study of Tudor international relations is the first in nearly thirty years.

This collection of interdisciplinary essays examines the origins and growth of Mary Tudor's historical reputation, from the reign of Elizabeth I up to the 20th century. Re-appraising aspects of her reign that have been misrepresented the book creates a more balanced, objective portrait of England's last Catholic, and first female, monarch.

Why should films be historically accurate? Why are some monarchs popular subjects in film and others virtually ignored? Leading historians analyze films set in Tudor and Stuart Britain, exploring their historical context and their accuracy. They explore the preoccupations of the filmmakers, the sources they used and each film's reception.

This study introduces students to England's foreign policy during the reigns of the Tudor monarchs. The book addresses the key questions facing students and each reign is analyzed in turn, providing a narrative and explanation of the major events and policy decisions of the period.
