  • "This book provides a thematic survey of England's international relations during the sixteenth century and explores the various influences on policy-making, including the concept of honour, security concerns, religious ideology and commercial interests. This book is ideal for undergraduates as it provides an extensive and coherent synthesis of recent scholarship as well as a fresh insight into Tudor foreign policy."
  • "This book provides a thematic survey of English foreign policy in the sixteenth century, focusing on the influence of the concept of honour, security concerns, religious ideology and commercial interests on the making of policy. It draws attention to aspects of continuity with the late-medieval past but argues, too, that the European Reformation brought new challenges which forced a rethinking of policy. Far from treating the sixteenth century as the period when England began its rise as a Great Power, the author emphasises the structural weaknesses of the English armed forces and demonstrates that dangers and insecurities did more to mould foreign policy than the energy and confidence of the Tudor rulers. -- Publisher."
