History of Europe

Did the tudors think world was flat?

No, the Tudors knew the world was round. Christopher Columbus' voyages at the end of the 15th century confirmed the theory that the world was round, and Tudor England was well aware of these developments. In fact, during Tudor times in 1577 Sir Francis Drake became the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe, further consolidating the knowledge that the world was round.
