Beschreibung:
The early Tudor period is the period from 1485 to 1558. The early Tudor period is the period of the reign of King Henry VII. Tudors is the family name which reigns over England for a good hundred years. At their reign, England was economically healthier, more expensive and more optimistic under the Tudors than any other time.
After the Black Death and the agricultural depression, the population started to increase. Which clearly can be noticed by looking at the population of 1450 and 1600. It was less than 2 million in 1450, and about 4 million in 1600. The growing population stimulated economic growth, accelerated the export and imports but also led to the promotion of the growth of London.
King Henry VII: King Henry is one of the most famous kings of English history. Henry is best known for his six marriages, in particular, his efforts to divorce his first marriage to Catherine of Aragon. His disagreement with the Pope on the question of such a divorce led Henry to start the English Reformation. That later separated the Church of England from The Catholic church. He appointed himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England and discontinued monasteries. As he made this reformation he could happily marry and divorce any woman he wanted. Today people make jokes about him and some of them call him the original fuckboy of the 16th century.
Henry is not famous just because of his marriages because for many people he is also known as "the father of the Royal Navy"; because of his heavy investments in the Navy, increasing its size greatly from a few to more than 50 ships. Having these drastic changes made the people at the time very unhappy and confused.
A new time was to come as the only child of Henry was a girl named Elizabeth. She will come to be the queen of England and an exceptional leader of England.
