Tudor dynasty
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tudor dynasty was a series of kings and queens in England. This line of rulers started in 1485, when Henry VII defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field. Henry was accepted as the true king. His son was Henry VIII.
The dynasty ended when Queen Elizabeth I died. She had not named a person to be ruler after her death, so her cousin's son took over. He became James I of England, and started the Stuart dynasty.
Here are the rulers of the Tudor dynasty:
- Henry VII of England (1485-1509)
- Henry VIII of England (1509-1547)
- Edward VI of England (1547-1553)
- Lady Jane Grey (uncrowned) (1553) (deposed, died 1554)
- Mary I of England (1553-1558)
- Elizabeth I of England (1558-1603)
