Tudors Mantle of the Expert

In Spring 1 Shamrocks travelled back in time to the Tudor era, right back to The Battle of Bosworth in 1485. A young Henry Tudor had arrived in Wales from his exile in France and trekked across Wales, into England to challenge Richard of York for the throne of England. On his way to Bosworth battlefield Henry VII passed through Shrewsbury and stayed at The Henry Tudor Inn. 

​In our Mantle of the Expert session we witnessed Henry (Mrs Griffiths as adult in role), approaching a door in Shrewsbury and waiting to be let in. We considered Henry's body language and actions and thought of questions we would like to ask Henry Tudor. Henry then thought out loud so we could hear what was going through his mind at the time. We discussed why he might be feeling nervous and what might happen to him if a loyal supporter of King Richard answered the door to him! Luckily the person who answered the door (Mrs Edwards as adult in role) was a supporter of Henry, a friend not a foe!
