Tudors

In the Tudor period, England grew richer. Towns grew larger, great houses were built and the arts flourished. European explorers travelled the Atlantic and Pacific, bringing back new products and claiming new lands; the foundations of European empires were laid at this time. Their impact would be felt worldwide. However, rapid population growth brought increased poverty to many and diseases were rife. It was also a time of religious upheaval. The English Reformation and the break from the Catholic Church saw the medieval world giving way to a new social order.
