History of England

"The History of England," taught by William H. Fredlund, Ph.D. begins with the earliest period of recorded history for England in the era of the Celts, the Romans, and the Christian missionaries. Then we will continue on into the creative period of the great medieval monarchies of Henry II, Edward I and Edward III. In the Winter Quarter, we will turn our attention to the Tudors who dominate the whole of the fifteenth century and who produce the greatest monarch in the whole of English history. In the Spring Quarter, we turn to another family, the Stuarts, whose record of achievement is mixed and ultimately tragic. And we complete our year together with the story of the Glorious Revolution and the adoption of a Bill of Rights in 1688.
