On 29 September 2018 I was fortunate enough to get involved with a collaborative project with Dr Miranda Kaufmann, the Historical Association, Schools History Project, and a brilliant group of people from different backgrounds all committed to teaching about black Tudors. In this short piece, I will share how I have introduced Year 8 pupils to black Tudors in my classroom. The accompanying ‘Triumphs Show’ in this edition of Teaching History explores the impact of these lessons in more detail.
