Welcome to part four of 2022 Documentary Suggestions for the School Year. This time I will make suggestions for the Reformation and Post Reformation Era. Unfortunately, there have been some slim pickings in the past other than Tudors in England and I hope one day to expand this section. I did not want to overkill the Tudors in this section. There is one documentary series that if you can find it, you should show it: Lucy Worsley’s The Georgians about the Georgian Kings of England.
If I suggest a series, then pick an episode from the series to show in the classroom. I hope that this list helps teachers with their lesson plans for the school year! The Germans - Martin Luther and the Nation: YouTube Martin Luther's 95 Theses touched off a Religious Reformation that swept through Europe. It kicks off with his trial and eventual hiding in the German territories. The second part of this documentary tells the story of Luther’s marriage. This is an excellent introduction to the Reformation. The first part of the episode would be good to show in a Christian school. Henry VIII: Mind of a Tyrant - Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 David Starkey discusses the mind of Henry VIII, what made him the man he was. Starkey starts with Henry's childhood and how his mother impacted his views. Then goes into the impact of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon had on his life and the impact the divorce had on his mental state. Actors play the roles of the people in Henry VIII's life. Elizabeth I - Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 David Starkey narrates the story of Elizabeth, from her growing up years, her time under the reign of Mary I, the start of her reign as well as her avoiding the issue of marriage. After her father’s death, she grew up in the household of Catherine Parr. He covers the rebellions, the religious settlement, as well as the Spanish Armada. This is an excellent documentary on Elizabeth I. Tales From Green Valley: Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 Episode 5 Episode 6 Episode 7 Episode 8 Episode 9 Episode 10 Episode 11 Episode 12 A group of historians and archeologists work on a farm that was established during the Jacobean Period. They make repairs around the farm, raise animals, and live the way farmers lived during the Jacobean Period. They build a new barn as well as a new privy. They work the farm during a calendar year, except they do not live on the farm. At the end of the year, many of the buildings were restored. Germans: Frederick and the Empress: YouTube This is a German-produced English-language documentary about Frederick the Great and Empress Maria Theresa. They were the rulers of two German empires. When Maria Theresa became Empress, Frederick the Great invaded parts of her domain. She fought back against the Prussians. This documentary tells the story of the rulers who fought for supremacy.
