The Tudor Revolution in Government

The Tudor Revolution in Government refers to the significant changes in English governance during the Tudor dynasty, particularly under monarchs like Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. It involved the centralization of power in the monarchy, shifting authority from feudal lords to a strong royal administration. This transformation included the establishment of new bureaucratic institutions, the use of royal councils, and the development of a more efficient legal system. The revolution strengthened the monarchy’s control over laws and finances, laying the groundwork for modern governance in England and reducing the influence of the nobility in political matters.
