This study reassesses the policies of the founder of the Tudor dynasty and shows how Henry worked within existing traditions rather than breaking with the past. Every facet of the reign is considered including the nature of government - both at central and local level, financial policy, relations with the Church, foreign policy, economic affairs and concludes by assessing Henry as a 'new monarch'.

This was more of a pamphlet, fast and dirty baby! Good though. Economic stuff was fun after reading on Bristol’s economy & merchant guilds in ‘the widening gate’.
