All the reforming mid-Tudor regimes used historical discourses to support the religious changes which they introduced and the Reformation as a historical event was written and rewritten by various historians to offer legitimation for policies. Starting with John Bale's "King Johan", this book examines these histories of the English Reformations. It addresses the issues behind Bale's editions of the "Examinations of Anne Askew", discusses in detail the almost wholly neglected history writing of Mary Tudor's reign and concludes with a discussion of John Foxe's "Acts and Monuments". In the process of working chronologically through the Reformation historiography of the period 1530-83, this book explores the ideological conflicts that mid-Tudor historians of the English Reformations addressed and the differences, but also the similarities often cutting across doctrinal differences, that existed between their texts.
