Argument for:
•
End of the Wars of the Roses - Which arguably ended one of the most violent periods of English history. In addition, mention the marriage between Elizabeth of York and Henry VIII being a key factor on that.
•
Henry VII did not have a lot of major rebellions against his own reign, but merely just local issues that can be exemplified for the Yorkshire Rebellion of 1489 which only led to small deaths and the rebellion was dealt with peacefully. Yorkshire Rebellion only started because of the bad harvest and the subsequent famine.
•
Henry VII helped to increase crown stability by limiting the powers of the nobles which made them reluctant to rebel and cause issues and continued to support trade throughout England which meant very limited social mobility and allowed more merchants to trade cloth through the Merchants Adventures and Henry's trade policy towards Venice allowed English Merchants to further increase their trading power by trading in Mediterranean Goods such as Wine which was expensive and lucrative.
•
Henry VIII draconian measures against the nobility made him hated and fueled more rebellions and discontent within England; this can be exemplified by the fact that Henry's own Lord Chamberlain tried to rebel against him. This suggests that there was still a period of discontent and not as the "tranquility" as the quote implies.
•
In addition to this, the Cornish Rebellion of 1497 which marched all the way to Blackheath again still suggests the shaky foundations in which the Crown authority lies and such popularity and lack of resistance by the rebels in the southern counties suggest there was not that much domestic peace.
•
You can also still measure the role of the pretender Perkin Warbeck on how he was a nuisance for most of Henry VIII reign and his role inadvertently caused the Cornish Rebellion because of his taxation to fund Scotland and talk how Perkin Warbeck was seen by some as legitimate which suggests again the country was still not in domestic peace and that the true "Wars of the Roses" has not ended.
•
Finally, just mention that there was still questions about Henry VII illegitimacy throughout his own reign; due to his shaky claim in the throne. Which again suggests there was still discontent and not "domestic" peace as the source implies.

Welcome to the A-level History Study Group! This is where you can chat with other students studying the same subjects as you and support each other as you head towards your exams
You can post any useful tips and resources that you come across, offer support to others, share your successes, or just have moan when it gets tough!
Just remember, it’s against the site rules to ask for or offer any copyrighted papers, or to take conversations off-site to do these things. Posts that break these rules will be removed.
A few possible ice breaker questions are:
What exam board are you with?
What do you enjoy most about this subject/ course?
What area do you struggle with in this subject/ course?
Good luck with the next few months. Remember, ask for help, support where you can and together we can do this!
I have an urgent question if anyone knows...i am doing coursework rn on Russia and long story short just need to know if it's deemed correct to refer to the plural form of the noun 'Duma' as 'Dumas' or something else?
Also i am with OCR as an exam board.
I hate history.
And i struggle with all of it - Stuarts (Charles) in particular the most so any resources for that are helpful too.

Pray to God everything goes well

Ah! At least you got it over with and didn’t have to sit on it over Christmas. I handed mine in but the deadline’s been extended again, at this point it’ll be going into the February mocks! I wonder if all papers will be this painful or is coursework just a different breed of work.

Give more time to practice the past papers!
It will be more useful instead of just reading and memorising the content

Hiya, I feel like a really helpful way to go around starting the coursework is to clearly split your point into at least 3 distinct parts. Then, I feel like finding a large collection of evidence is the next step rather than trying to begin writing it because learning more about it helps a lot with ultimately your judgment.

Hi. I am 5 months in and procrastination is really getting to me too. It is so overwhelming all the things that need to be done that I don't want to start anything at all.

Strengths: The economy and Own Knowledge.
Weaknesses: structure (struggling to achieve beyond 16/20 on essays.) and coursework.
I am projected an A. But I am aiming for an A* to match my other subjects.
(Looking for a study group)

"Analyse the ways in which Margaret Atwood creates a sense of threat in the first 20 chapters of 'The Handmaid's Tale'. You must relate your discussion to relevant contextual factors."
I am struggling to think of points and quotes to write about as my teacher wants it to be 4 pages long. Does anyone have any ideas? It's due Monday. Please Help!
Is this history?
