I did Renaissance to Reformation for my "O" level history and found it fascinating.

There's an amazing exhibition on in Liverpool's Walker art gallery about the Tudors and well worth a visit.

A book I would recommend is Catherine if Aragon by Giles Tremlett, it gives a fascinating insight into her life before, during and after her marriage to Henry.

The more I think about the Tudors, the more glad I am to be modern! I suspect More genuinely thought that he was being kind, saving people by burning them, sparing them an eternity of hellfire. It's really impossible to recapture that level of certainty.
