History: Intermediate- The Later Plantagenet Dynasty

This intermediate course will move on to explore key characters and events of the later Plantagenet Dynasty. We will focus on events of the succession after Edward III. As well as looking at key characters and events we will investigate how this affected English society at large in the late 14th century, as well as the longer term consequences across the water in France.

Learners will investigate and provide an outline of the course of the Peasants' Revolt. The course will also explore the misrule of Richard II and learners will identify key reasons for this misrule.

We will also explore the character of Henry Bolingboke and make observations on that character. We will summarise at least two factors that helped to keep the peace with France, between 1389 - 1415.

This is an online course with an experienced tutor. There will be clear learning outcomes which will enable learners to chart their progress of knowledge over this fascinating period.

Learners are encouraged to research the period either through reading material or other forms of media. Although this is not mandatory it may certainly whet your appetite for the course itself and enrich learner contribution.
