In what ways and how effectively was England governed during this period? How did relations with foreign powers change and how was the succession secured? How did English society and economy change and with what effects? How far did intellectual and religious ideas change and develop and with what effect? How important was the role of key individuals and groups and how were they affected by developments?

It also encourages students to reflect on the nature of democracy in a pluralist society, political protest and the power of the media.
