The Historical Association: Who did Henry VIII think he was?

Professor Steven Gunn returns to explore one of England’s best-known monarchs and the ways in which Henry VIII understood his own identity and power. The lecture draws on the unusually rich evidence surrounding Henry, including portraits, ambassadors’ reports and other surviving material, to ask what kind of king he believed himself to be.

This is a History Association branch lecture hosted in Bristol and delivered in person at the University of Bristol. It will be of particular interest to anyone studying Tudor England, and the organiser notes that it should be especially useful for students and teachers as exams approach.

Attendees can simply sign in at the door rather than booking in advance.
