The Tudor period captivates modern audiences. Henry VIII's reign (1509-47) fascinates as much for its architectural magnificence and courtly splendour, its music, masques, tournaments and hunting parties as it does for its political machinations and religious controversies. 2022 marks the quincentenary of Henry's spectacular progress around southern England with Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor. It is also the platinum jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II, who in 2019 (in accord with her royal duties) carried out a staggering 295 public engagements around the country. It is an opportune moment not only to assess Tudor royal progresses, but to reflect on what monarchy and its visibility means in the 21st century.In a personal monarchy, a fundamental questions was the location of the king at any one time, which surprisingly we do not always know for Henry VIII. Building on a one-year AHRC Research Network, Henry VIII on Tour brings together a cross-disciplinary team of scholars and technical specialists from both academic and heritage sectors, who will use close study of archival sources, architecture, archaeology, music and material culture to inform a reconceptualisation of Henry VIII's progresses. We will focus on four key themes: logistics, kingship/queenship, performance, and legacy. By mapping all known progress venues and charting changes in duration, regional location and accommodation through successive phases of the reign, our project establishes a full itinerary for Henry VIII for the first time, significantly enhancing historians' understanding of the purpose of royal progresses and their impact on 16th century political and religious culture. Examining specific progresses from each decade (1511, 1522, 1535 and 1541) we will determine how they can be understood and reinterpreted within the context of the ideals and challenges of statecraft in the early modern period. Wherever possible we consider queenship in parallel with kingship, highlighting Henry's queens as independent actors in the performance of progresses, religious devotions and hunting expeditions. We will also explore how the logistics of 'performing' progresses can reveal hidden histories of understudied groups and communities and how progresses themselves fostered dialogue and circulation of ideas, news, skills, architectural styles and musical repertoire in the localities.This project comes at a time when heritage organisations, museums and galleries are facing financial difficulties and a crisis of identity following prolonged closure and uncertainty as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. We will therefore use Henry VIII's progresses as a means of connecting heritage sites and exploring with our partners, stakeholders and local history focus groups both the challenges for heritage organisations and the ways they can assist in uniting communities. We will engage with modern-day residents of places once visited by Henry VIII in an effort to assess the legacy of royal progresses and provide opportunities for translational impact through co-creation with our heritage partners using local history networks. We will also engage and inspire the interested public through opportunities for participation in community archaeology at Tudor sites and performances of Tudor music in their original settings.The digital legacy of the project (from visualisations of 'lost' sites to mobile-enabled progress trails) makes available a remarkable resource for study of Tudor history for all audiences. Henry VIII on Tour will re-engage and inspire educators in schools and museums to use the Tudors across the curriculum through new ways of approaching and discovering the past. We will use digital creativity to bring both landscapes and buildings to life, demonstrating how a coming together of digital heritage and archival research can tell new stories, pose and answer innovative research questions, and inspire greater curiosity about local places.

都铎时期吸引了现代观众。亨利八世（Henry VIII）的统治（1509-47）对其建筑的宏伟和辉煌的辉煌，音乐，地面，锦标赛和狩猎派对的同样令人着迷，与政治的阴谋和宗教争议一样。 2022年标志着亨利在英格兰南部与神圣罗马皇帝查尔斯五世周围取得的壮观进步。它也是HM女王伊丽莎白二世的白金禧年，他在2019年（按她的皇家职责）在全国各地进行了惊人的295场公共活动。这是一个合适的时刻，不仅是评估都铎王室的进步，而且要反思君主制及其在21世纪的知名度。在个人君主制中，一个基本的问题是国王的一个地方，这是国王的所在地，令人惊讶的是，我们并不总是知道亨利八世。 Henry VIII在为期一年的AHRC研究网络的基础上，召集了来自学术和遗产部门的学者和技术专家的跨学科团队，他们将使用对档案资源，建筑，考古，音乐和物质文化的仔细研究，以告知Henry VIIII的进步。我们将重点关注四个关键主题：物流，王权/行使，表演和遗产。通过绘制所有已知的进度场所并通过连续的统治阶段绘制持续时间，区域位置和住宿的变化，我们的项目首次为亨利八世建立了完整的行程，从而大大增强了历史学家对皇家进步的目的及其对16世纪政治和宗教文化的影响的理解。研究每个十年（1511，1522，1535和1541）的特定进展，我们将确定如何在现代早期的史克克拉夫特的理想和挑战的背景下理解和重新解释它们。我们尽可能考虑与王权并行的王朝，强调亨利的皇后在进步，宗教奉献和狩猎探险方面是独立演员。我们还将探索“表现”进步的后勤工作如何揭示研究不足的群体和社区的隐藏历史，以及进步如何促进了对话和思想，新闻，技能，建筑风格和音乐曲目的循环，这是一个遗产组织，博物馆和画廊的繁重范围，这是一段时间，这是一个遗产组织，与之相处的繁忙，并在繁忙的情况下进行了繁荣的繁忙。 冠状病毒大流行。因此，我们将使用亨利八世的进步作为连接遗产并与我们的合作伙伴，利益相关者和当地历史焦点探索遗产组织的挑战以及他们可以协助团结社区的方式的一种手段。我们将与亨利八世曾经访问过的地方的现代居民互动，以评估皇家进步的遗产，并通过使用当地历史网络与我们的Heritage Partners共同创造来进行翻译影响的机会。我们还将通过参与Tudor网站的社区考古学的机会和Tudor Music在其原始环境中的表演进行参与和激发公众的启发。该项目的数字遗产（从“丢失”站点的可视化到移动设备的进度步道）使得提供了一个非凡的资源，用于研究所有法院的Tudor历史研究。亨利八世巡回演出将重新参与，并激发学校和博物馆中的教育工作者，通过接近和发现过去的新方法，利用整个课程的都铎王朝。我们将利用数字创造力将景观和建筑物带入生活，展示数字遗产和档案研究的聚集在一起如何讲述新故事，构成和回答创新的研究问题，并激发人们对当地地方的好奇心。
