Through archival documents, pictorial and historical accounts, literature, and correspondence, as well as cultural artefacts such as paintings, jewellery, and garments, this volume examines the impact of Habsburg royal women in the broader historical, political, and cultural contexts of early modern Europe.

A. D. Wright challenges the standard view that the development of Papal authority during this period simply reflected the 'Absolutism' of secular governments, and offers an analysis related to present historiographical debates on the subject.

Examines the role of the early Tudor Church and the impact it had in society. Amongst the areas covered are: the Higher Clergy; the Church and the Lay Power; the Lesser Clergy; the Regular Clergy; Canon Law and the people; the community of the parish; worship and preaching; and beliefs and values.

This book offers clear, concise and practical information about health and safety, whilst fully translating the legislative documentation that surrounds it to ensure that you meet the statutory requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
