9. Some of the key individuals were:
Which Renaissance ideas made their way to England during the 14th Century?
Before we look at Henry VIII, we need to think about the ideas that started to emerge under his father Henry VII in order to see how they then went on to develop. One of the key features of the Renaissance to emerge was Humanism.
Humanism:
Developed as part of the Renaissance in the 14th Century and founded on the rediscovery of Latin and Greek. Humanists were particularly concerned with establishing the reliability of Latin and Greek translations in order to purify ideas of religious text. This was an intellectual trend whose followers were also believers in the Catholic church, with a specific focus on free will.
Some of the key individuals were:
John Colet
(1467 – 1519)
Highlight the fact that these cross over between Henry VII and VIII. Point out that they do not oppose the catholic church, even though the renaissance and humanism are a contributing fact in the reformation. Thomas More was executed for treason due to his commitment to the Catholic church, whilst John Colet was more in favour with a break from the church as is shown with the direction he took his school.
Thomas More
(1478 – 1535)
Desiderius Erasmus
(1466 – 1536)

10. How did these Renaissance ideas develop under Henry VIII?
Now that we are familiar with some of the ideas, it is now time to explore these a little further and also see how they changed and developed.
Renaissance ideas
Education
Individuals
Culture
TASK: Make a copy of the mind map and go around the room to collect the relevant information.
Challenge: Try and explain the development of Renaissance ideas since Henry VII. Use the information about Henry VII to help come to your conclusion.

11. Why did the Renaissance ideas start to be more prominent under Henry VIII?
It is clear the Renaissance ideas really began to flourish under Henry VIII and particularly amongst the elite. Some of this can be down to Henry himself, as he encouraged thinkers like More and Erasmus and started to use Renaissance artistic trends. However, there were other factors at play to...
Look at the following factors, which do you think had the biggest impact in helping the Renaissance ideas to flourish? Explain your answer.
Knowledge of classical learning increased amongst the elite groups in society.
Henry VIII saw himself as a promoter of new ideas of humanism.
A growing number of schools became influenced by humanist approaches to education.
The crown needed well-educated diplomats who could communicate with their counterparts in a fashionable elegant style.

12. How much impact did these Renaissance ideas have?
Whilst it is clear these Renaissance ideas took off under Henry VIII, there is some evidence to suggest that their impact was limited.
TASK: Go through your worksheet and highlight in one colour anything to suggest it did have an impact and in a second colour anything it suggest it was limited. You then need to come to a conclusion on how much impact these ideas had. Once you have decided come and place your post-it (with your name on) along the continuum.
