Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries England underwent a series of transformations. The turbulent reigns of the Tudors and Stuarts witnessed the Protestant Reformation, the growth of powerful monarchies, the English Civil War, and the colonization of the new world.
