Just on this one point - I've noticed that many historians who specialise in
Modern History will count the English Medieval period as ending at the
accession of James I; that is, at the end of the Tudor dynasty.
My Oxford reference dictionaries define the medieval period as being from the 5th to the 15th centuries - ie, roughly from 401 - 1500 AD, and I think that's the generally accepted meaning of the term. The Oxford Illustrated History of England cuts off the Middle Ages with the accession of the Tudor dynasty.
I don't doubt your veracity - but if I knew those historians, I'd argue the point!
