Detailed explanation-1: -Henry VII was the founder of the Tudor dynasty, unifying the warring factions in the Wars of the Roses. Although supported by Lancastrians and Yorkists alienated by Richard III’s deposition of his nephew, Edward V, Henry VII’s first task was to secure his position.
Detailed explanation-2: -Henry VII has been remembered as a serious and miserly king who was paranoid about the continuation of the Tudor dynasty, particularly when his first son and heir, Prince Arthur, died in 1502 at only 15 years old.
Detailed explanation-3: -Elizabeth I-the last Tudor monarch-was born at Greenwich on 7 September 1533, the daughter of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. Her early life was full of uncertainties, and her chances of succeeding to the throne seemed very slight once her half-brother Edward was born in 1537.
Detailed explanation-4: -Elizabeth of York: The First Tudor Queen.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Windsors are not directly descended from the Tudors. But, they do share a distant connection in their lineage. Historians have determined that Queen Elizabeth II is descended from Henry VIII’s sister, Queen Margaret of Scotland, the grandmother of Mary Queen of Scots.
