The Tudor Dynasty began in 1485 with the succession/triumph of Henry Tudor (Henry VII). Henry Tudor wasn't next in line for the throne: there were many other Yorks out there (including his future wife) who had a stronger claim to the throne than him, but he was well liked by many people. Henry married Elizabeth of York and they had eight children, four whom survived infancy. By 1501 Henry VII had his son Arthur married to Catalina de Aragon (Katherine of Aragon), but in 1502 Arthur died, and Catalina was widowed, Elizabeth of York died in 1503 attempting to strengthen the succession to the throne. In 1509 Henry VII died leaving his throne to his last remaing son Henry (Henry VIII), Henry married Catalinaa de Aragon and in 1516 their only surviving child, Mary (Mary I), was born. In 1533 Henry VIII anulled his marriage to Catalina de Aragon and married Anne Boleyn, that year Anne and Henry had their only surviving child, Elizabeth (Elizabeth I), in 1536 Henry VIII had Anne Boleyn beheaded and later that year he married Jane Seymour. In 1537 Jane Seymour delivered Henry and Jane's only child, Edward (Edward VI). In the span of ten years Henry would have three more wives, but no more children, in 1540 he annulled his marriage to the 'Flanders Mare' (Anne of Cleves) then in 1540 he married Kathryn Howard and two short years later she went to the block. In 1543 he married Catherine Parr, twice widowed. In 1547 Henry died, he left his throne to his nine year old son, Edward. Edward's reign was very turbulent. It involved him sending both of his uncles to the block, in 1553 it was very evident that he was dying, so John Dudley Duke of Northumberland devised a plan that involved making himself the father of the king of England. In 1553 Edward died, and through John Dudley's plan Jane Grey (who was married to John's son, Guilford) was made the Queen of England, Ireland, and France, nine days later she was thrown in to the Tower of London and Mary was proclaimed Queen, about six or seven months later she was beheaded. Mary died in 1558 leaving the throne to England, not only to her sister, but to her enemy, in 1603 Elizabeth died after an incredible reign and the Tudor dynasty ended. James VI of Scotland (James I) gained the throne and begain the Stuart dynasty in England.
