It was one of the most transformative periods in English history. The Tudor period concur with the dynasty of the House of Tudor in England whose first monarch was Henry.
Henry is one of the most famous kings in the English history. King Henry is known for his radical changes to the English Constitution, ushering into England the theory of the divine right of kings.
When Henry VIII came to the throne, he was a devout Catholic and defended the Church against Protestants. Henry VIII did not agree with their views, Henry VIII broke with Rome because the pope in Rome would not grant him a divorce with his wife, Catherine of Aragon, because divorce was against church policy.
At the Tudor period Literary energy was almost entirely absorbed in pamphleteering and theological controversy, and of poetry there was none in England until the latter years of Henry VIII, while Scotland, on the other hand, produced William Dunbar.
The capacities of English prose found their best expression in the great translations of the Bible by William Tyndale and others.
