    About the event

    This paper examines the role of Henry VIII's royal progresses in creating networks and connecting the royal court with geographically widespread communities. It examines the difficulties and drawbacks as well as the positive aspects of royal journeys and engagement with his people. It will also outline how, just as the progresses did so historically, so too in the present "Henry on Tour" is connecting communities and spreading HRP's reach in its research remit and public engagement activities.
