The principal aim of this paper is to offer an insight into the detail of educating the king’s off-spring in Tudor times.

Thus this paper allows the reader to learn of certain nuances affecting the royal Tudor education provided by the English scholars to Henry VIII’ children – viz. the Princesses Mary and Elizabeth as well as Prince Edward.
