The Tudors were the dynasty founded by Henry Tudor who became Henry VII of England (and Wales). After the last Tudor (Elizabeth I), the crown of England was offered to the King of Scotland (JamesVI) who then became the first Stuart king as James I of England. This continued until the House of Hanover took over with George I.

Two separate Royal Dynasties. The Tudors reign ended in the 16th century. The Stewarts commenced in the early 17th century.

It is an era, a very interesting and colourful one, suggest you read up on it, every English schoolchild finds it the only history they ever enjoyed.
