The Role of Medieval & Tudor Women
My new 12 unit online course is available now at www.medievalcourses.com
It explores the lives of Medieval and Tudor women of all classes, looking at relationships, earning a living, caring for the family and responsibilities in the home. Life was not easy but we shall be thinking about how women managed and what they could do, rather than the limitations put upon them. Using a wide range of original source material, this course will bring into focus how our doughty ancestors lived, loved, laboured and, eventually, met their Maker.
The English Reformation - a religious revolution
The course begins during the reign of King Henry VIII in the 1520s and continuing to influence events well into the seventeenth century and beyond.
