Answer 1

Henry VII (reigned 1485-1509)
Henry Tudor became King Henry VII of England and Wales after defeating Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in August 1485. This battle saw the end of the Wars of the Roses which had brought instability to England.

Henry Vlll (reigned 1509-1547)
Henry Vlll is probably the most well known of the Tudor kings.

King Edward VI(reigned 1547-1553)
The only son of Henry VIII.

Edward VI became king at the age of nine upon the death of his father, Henry Vlll. He was known as 'The Boy King'. His mother was Jane Seymour, Henry Vlll's third wife.

Edward was a sickly child and the country was run by his protectors: firstly, the Duke of Somerset, his mother's brother, then by the Duke of Northumberland.

Edward enjoyed reading about battles and writing Greek.

Edward died at the age of 16 in 1553.


Queen Mary l (reigned 1553-1558)
Mary I was the first Queen Regnant (that is, a queen reigning in her own right rather than a queen through marriage to a king).

Mary was the eldest daughter of Henry Vlll by his first wife Katherine of Aragon. She was named after Henry's favourite sister, Mary Tudor (the 'Tudor Rose'). Mary was born just before dawn on Monday 18 February 1516 in Greenwich Palace.

Mary came to the throne after contesting the 14 day reign of the uncrowned Lady Jane Grey, grandaughter of Mary Tudor, who had been named by Edward Vl as his successor

Elizabeth I - the last Tudor monarch - was born at Greenwich Palce on 7 September 1533, the younger daughter of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn.

When Elizabeth came to the throne, she was 25. She succeeded to the throne on her half-sister's death in November 1558.
