HIST 105 - Henry VIII: Heads Will Roll

This May Term course will explore why Henry VIII was so keen on marrying again and again and the impact that it had on England. Students will consider shy Henry wanted a son so badly that he was willing to split with the Catholic Church and marry many times. Through the playing of a Reacting to the Past game students will ‘experience’ how and why this Protestant Reformation came about in England (and who was willing to die for it). The course ends with evaluating whether or not Henry got the result he so risked it all for, a stable succession for the Tudor dynasty.
