Does anyone know any Primary Sources for research about Catherine de’ Medici?
Research Help
I’m currently putting together a research booklet.
My Inquiry Question: How did the lives, decisions, and actions of the Tudor and Stuart dynasties shape England, Scotland, and France between 1455 and 1603.
Some people and conflicts I am researching include:
• John of Gaunt
• The Wars of the Roses
• Henry VII
• Henry VIII
• Edward VI
• Mary I
• Elizabeth I
• Mary, Queen of Scots
• Francis I of France
• Francis II of France
• James VI of Scotland
• The Protestant Reformation
• The English Reformation
• The Spanish Armada
I have already been in contact with some notable historians and university professors but I would love the help of the lovely people on Reddit! I have taken out loads of book from the library. Most notably books by Lucy Wooding and John Guy.
Please let me know if you are aware of any people I could reach out to or any good resources I can use. Paid or free is fine!
Thanks again!
