In a very limited timeframe, Dr. Norton gave a wonderful, concise summary of the Tudor Dynasty. The genealogy of Edward III was the perfect place to begin, and her description of the Cousins' War was the ideal way to introduce Henry Tudor. The course was a nice refresher for me and would make a great primer for anyone who is just beginning to learn about the Tudors.
If you have wanted to learn about the Tudors, beyond having a vague understanding of their importance in
English history, take the class with Dr. Elizabeth Norton and get a good foundation.
This was a wonderful and easy to follow overview of some very complicated and intertwined historical events. Truly enjoyable time.
