Detail from the Ditchley Portrait (1592)One of the key areas of www.ilovehistory.co.uk is the section for AS History students revising Elizabethan government. These pages contains a number of revision activities including notes, games, and card sorts. There are also a number of videos looking at some of the key questions, including 
‘What problems did Elizabeth face in 1588?‘,  
‘What was the importance of the court and ministers in Elizabethan government?’, and 
‘How successfully did Elizabeth deal with the issue of succession?’.

Over the next few days I will be adding more materials to these pages to help students preparing for their exams this May. The first addition is a new video looking at the popularity and effectiveness of Elizabeth’s government at the end of her reign. This is supported by revision notes, and also a range of revision games on this page.

The video is hosted on youtube so may not be available on all school networks:
