House of Tudor

by Susan Flantzer

 

The House of Tudor descended from Rhys ap Tewdwr, a king of Deheubarth in Wales.  The first Tudor monarch, King Henry VII, was a descendant through his mother Margaret Beaufort of a legitimized branch of the House of Lancaster. The Tudor family rose to power during the Wars of the Roses, which left the House of Lancaster, to which the Tudors were aligned, extinct.   In 1485, Henry Tudor defeated King Richard III of the House of York at the Battle of Bosworth Field and proclaimed himself King of England.  Henry then married Elizabeth of York, eldest daughter of King Edward IV of the House of York, thereby uniting the Houses of Lancaster and York into the new House of Tudor.
