Community & Professional Education Open House | First Wednesday of each month at 5:30 PM

This course examines royal succession through acclaimed British films that explore power as a moral and political crisis. We will trace the monarchy’s evolution from personal rule to institutional authority. We will cover the Plantagenet struggles in Becket and The Lion in Winter; the moral costs of kingship and the performance of national leadership through Chimes at Midnight and Henry V; the Tudor rupture through A Man for All Seasons; and the consolidation of legitimacy in Elizabeth.
