He was followed by his son, Henry Vlll , who was famous for marrying six times and beheading two of his wives! His son, Edward Vl ruled after him, followed by his daughters Mary l and Elizabeth l. Why are they so famous?
During the sixteenth century, England emerged from the medieval world. It was a time of great change, most notably it marked the end of the Catholic church in England.
Great naval exploits began the great English seafaring tradition. What was it like living during the Tudor times? Life had many problems. Towns were becoming overcrowded, roads were muddy tracks and travelling was difficult. The year-old Edward VI, recognizing that his death was near, nominated his cousin, year-old Lady Jane Grey, to succeed him because she was a Protestant.
The intelligent and well-educated Jane Grey was imprisoned, later tried for treason, and ultimately beheaded at the Tower of London. Their willingness to die for their faith demonstrated that there was more than cold political calculation involved in the English Reformation. The design of English houses changed radically between and The best Tudor houses in England have much bigger windows than the old castles, and they conspicuously do not have curtain walls, moats, drawbridges, and portcullises.
One fine example of the new Tudor house is Wollaton Hall in Nottingham. Melford Hall in Suffolk is a striking example of a Tudor house built on formerly monastic lands—in fact, its cellars were part of the monastery and the current house was built right on top of them. It is a red brick structure with six impressive towers, topped by onion-shaped domes. Melford House was partially redesigned in almost every generation.
A ha-ha is a walled ditch surrounding the house. It prevents farm animals from coming into the gardens, but has the added advantage of being invisible from the house, so that the family, as they gaze through their windows, have an unimpeded view into the distance. Just over a mile from Melford stands Kentwell , another fine house from the same era, built in the same style.
The parish church of Long Melford , Holy Trinity, lies between the two houses, and it is among the most spectacular churches in the whole kingdom.
