The Mid-Tudor Crisis 1545-1565

(revisionist, 1992)

John Matusiak, ‘Mid-Tudor England: Years of Trauma and Survival’ (post-revisionist article in History Review, 2005) The reigns of Edward VI and Mary I were a time of crisis for the Tudor dynasty.

There were no serious threats to state or society. The success of Edward and Mary’s reigns have been underestimated. (Revisionist) Edward and Mary were underachievers. The severity of their problems should not be underestimated. The Tudor dynasty survived rather than thrived. (Post-revisionist)Slide12
