This course is for students with an interest in history, an open mind, a desire to learn and a willingness to enquire and question
The course aims to give an overview of who the Stuarts were, what they achieved and how decisions made then still affect our lives today
The course will consider each monarch of the Stuart era, as well as Oliver Cromwell, identifying the major events, from the Gunpowder Plot to the Act of Union, that shaped an extraordinary period of British history and shaped world events
By the end of the course students will have a deeper understanding of the importance of this era for its ideas as well as its actions, the dangers of absolute power, the frailties of many who are born into power, and a sense of how the past echoes in the present
