During his lifetime, Henry VIII journeyed throughout his kingdom in what are known as royal 'progresses'.
By exploring archival sources, archaeology, music and material culture, this AHRC-funded project will reassess Henry's progresses to reflect on what monarchy and its visibility means in the 21st century.
One of our study sites, King’s Manor in York, provided the stage for a community performance by York Theatre Royal of C.J. Sansom's Sovereign - a key location in the novel. Find out more about Sovereign and King's Manor in our Project Blog.
The Henry VIII on Tour project is looking to recruit a full-time Post-Doctoral Research Assistant to join our multi-disciplinary project team. The closing date for applications is 2nd April 2023.
We're please to announce the launch of our project website! Here we will keep you up to date with the project's progress and findings. Check back regularly to see what's going on.
