Tudor Family Tree

The Tudor Dynasty (House of Tudor 1485-1603) began as a result of a military victory.  Henry VII had not been born to the crown, and had instead won it in battle by defeating Richard III, thus silencing the House of York.  Few believed at the time he could hold the throne.  For one thing, it was an age when usurpation had become the rule rather then exception.  Who was to say that Henry VII might not lose his crown the way he gained it?  For another, Henry VII's blood was barely blue, being five generations removed from King Edward III.  Be it as it may, Henry VII would prove the doubters wrong and be the first in a distinguished line of Tudor Monarchs.  His son Henry VIII and Granddaughter Elizabeth I are undeniably two of Britain's greatest sovereigns. (Above details from the book "The Royals: The Lives & Loves of the British Monarchs" by Leslie Carroll)
