=Plan of the Investigation (100-150 Words) Tips]= This investigation focuses on how useful is the TV series //The Tudors// to a historian studying Henry VIII's break with Rome. With yet another historical drama aired onto our TV screens, I was interested to know as to whether or not the BBC series //The Tudors// would be of any use to its audience or simply another series of historical facts diluted into entertainment.

To answer this question, I have structured my analysis (section D) around the events in the drama and what actually happened. I have addressed the issue of characters and chronologies within the series - as there are issues concerning ages of characters and the order of events.

Too vague!!! What are the exact themes you look at in Section D (e.g. Motives for the Break; the main characters involved; the consequences)?

Within this investigation I refer to a variety of sources including: Michael Hirst's historical adaptation //The Tudors,// a series of secondary books (specify - maybe list them in a footnote if you are struggling to stay within the word count!) and the 1534 'The Act of Supremacy' - there are many other statutes (e.g. Act in Conditional Restraint of Anantes; Act in Absolute Restraint of Annates)
