This will parallel your readings and lecture on the evolution of constitutionalism in England. You will NOT be able to answer the second half of your midterm essay question without synthesizing information from both lectures and the documentary series. The first episode is “Burning Convictions” and the second is “The Body of the Queen.” This covers English monarchical history between Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The next episodes are “The English Wars” and “Revolutions,” which are on a second disk. These cover the period between James I and William and Mary. While watching the series and answering your questions, keep the following two themes in mind: Catholicism v. The Church of England, and the power of the monarch and the role of Parliament. Note: The episode “Britania Inc.” is not being assigned but would certainly add to your developing knowledge of English/European history.
