Tudor Dynasty in British History
Tudor dynasty or Tudor dynasty is a royal family of Welsh descent, [1] is a descendant of the last "British king" Reese Ap Twaddell, who ruled the Kingdom of England and its territory, including their ancestors, the Kingdom of Wales and Ireland, and later the Kingdom of Ireland, from 1485 to 1603. Its first monarch was henry vii, a descendant of the mother of Lancaster, a legal branch of the British royal family. The Tudor family came to power after wars of the roses, which made the Tudor-allied house of lancaster extinct.

Henry vii established himself as a candidate not only for the supporters of the traditional Lancaster dynasty, but also for the dissatisfied supporters of their rival York family. He won the throne in the battle and became henry vii. His marriage to Elizabeth of York consolidated his victory and symbolically united the warring factions under a new dynasty. Tudor dynasty extended its influence beyond modern England, and achieved the complete unification of England and Wales in 1542 (Welsh Law Act1535–1542), and successfully safeguarded England's authority over the Kingdom of Ireland. They also maintained the nominal British demand for the kingdom of France; Although neither of them made substantial progress, Henry VIII went to war with France in an attempt to regain the title. After him, with the fall of Calais in 1558, his daughter Mary I lost control of all French territories forever.

In all, five Tudor monarchs ruled their territory for more than a century. Henry VIII of England is the only male heir in henry vii who lived to adulthood. In Tudor era, the issues surrounding the royal inheritance rights (including marriage and female inheritance rights) became the main political themes. After the Tudor dynasty failed, the Stuart dynasty came to power in 1603, because Elizabeth I died without children.
