Last term, I have been learning about the Tudor dynasty ,which lasted for 118 years! The Tudor reign began when Henry Tudor fought Richard III on Bosworth field 1485.Henry Tudor was victorious ,and he was crowned Henry VII after finding Richard III’s crown in a bush.After he was crowned king of England, Henry VII married Elizabeth of York to get a better claim to the throne.In 1509, he died, leaving one of his children (Henry VIII) to be king of England.Henry VIII was a athletic man, he liked to competitvely joust and hunt brutishly.After a few years of reigning England, he was starting to get eager to get a male heir to the throne,so he married 6 wives.The first wife (Catherine of Aragon) gave him a daughter called Mary .As it was not a son, he divorced Catherine of Aragon. His next wife was Anne Boleyn was beheaded ,because of false witchcraft, but her daughter (Elizabeth) came to be the last and longest reigning monarch in the Turdor peroid. The other wives of Henry VIII were Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr ,which survived Henry VIII! The last Tudor monarch was Elizabeth I she was the longest living monarch in the Tudor peroid and did you know she was know as the virgin queen because she never married anyone.
