A Level Tudors: Relationship between Monarchy and Government – Lesson Pack & Booklet

This comprehensive lesson pack and accompanying student booklet are designed to support in-depth study of the evolving relationship between the monarchy and government during the Tudor period, a key component of the A Level History curriculum.

Focusing on the reigns of the Tudor monarchs from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I, this resource explores how power was exercised, negotiated, and contested between the Crown, the Privy Council, Parliament, and other political institutions. Through a series of structured, engaging lessons, students will critically examine key developments such as the establishment of Tudor authority, the role of ministers like Wolsey and Cromwell, the use of Parliament, and the shifting nature of royal prerogative.

What’s Included:

A detailed booklet for students, featuring concise summaries, key terms, source analysis activities, and exam-style questions.

A sequence of fully planned lessons, with clear objectives, source-based enquiry tasks, and opportunities for extended writing and debate.

Differentiated materials to support a range of learners, including revision activities and thematic overviews.

Ideal for classroom delivery or independent study, this pack ensures students gain a strong understanding of how Tudor monarchs shaped, and were shaped by, the structures of government – preparing them for both thematic essays and source-based exam questions with confidence.
