Part II: The Tudors: Henry VIII to Elizabeth I, 1509-1603: State Papers Foreign, Ireland, Scotland, Borders and Registers of the Privy Council

The Tudor era was witness to great change, revolution, and transformation, particularly affecting matters of faith and politics that are still influential today. State Papers Online, 1509-1714, Part II details every foreign facet of early modern government, including international relations, alliances, wars, naval and military policy, commercial and maritime law, trade, intelligence, and correspondence between the Tudors and their regal peers.
