Description

Education during the Tudor era was a privilege and took many forms including schools, colleges and apprenticeships.

Those responsible for delivering education came from a variety of backgrounds from the humble parish priest to the most famed poet-laureates of the day.

Curriculums varied according to wealth, gender and geography.

The wealthy could afford the very best of tutors and could study as much or as little as they chose whilst the poorer members of society could only grasp at opportunities in the hopes of providing themselves with a better future.

The Tudors were educated during a time when the Renaissance was sweeping across Europe and Henry VIII became known as a Renaissance Prince but what did his education consist of?

Who were his tutors? How did his education differ to that of his elder brother, Prince Arthur and how did Henry's education change upon the death of his brother?

There is no doubt Henry was provided with an excellent education, particularly in comparison to his sisters, Margaret and Mary.

Henry's own education would go on to influence his decisions of tutors for his own children.

Who had the privilege of teaching Henry's children and did they dare to use corporal punishment?

Educating the Tudors seeks to answer all of these questions, delving into the education of all classes, the subjects they studied, educational establishment and those who taught them.
