| Summary: | During the reign of Henry VII, education of the Tudor princes and princesses was entrusted to an unprecedentedly professional and scholarly group of tutors. These individuals were of two sorts: career educators, including John Rede, John Holt, and William Hone, and poet-orators, including Bernard Andre and John Skelton. Erasmus contributed, indirectly, by the influence of his pupil Lord Mountjoy on Prince Henry; and Thomas Linacre was interested in joining the royal tutors but failed. Little can be discovered about the curriculum the tutors pursued with their royal charges. What can be known of it, however, in combination with what can be known of the careers of these several educators before and after their tenure as royal tutors, suggests that education in the royal household during the reign of Henry VII was characterized by a nascent humanism, of a sort that helped prepare the ground for the efflorescence of English humanism in the reign of Henry VIII. |
