What is monarchy? Why is it so entrenched in modern British life and how is it likely to develop into the future? This course will look at how the British developed a constitutional monarchy, from the limitations placed upon medieval kings to the ever-growing importance and authority of parliament. The catastrophic clash between Crown and Parliament in the 17th century produced a distinctive constitutional shape that would keep Britain stable even through years of revolutionary change. But monarchy changed too, from the deference of the Victorians to the informality and scandal of the reign of Elizabeth II.
