## Image Caption

An infographic illustrating the genealogy and royal succession of the [House of Tudor](https://www.worldhistory.org/collection/105/the-house-of-tudor/) that held the throne of [England](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/england/) and its realms from 1485 to 1603. With predominantly Welsh origins in the male line, the dynasty descended from the Tudors of Penmynydd and Catherine of Valois (a daughter of [Charles VI of France](https://www.worldhistory.org/Charles_VI_of_France/) and mother of Henry VI) and won the crown of the Kingdom of England following Henry VII Tudor’s victory against [Richard III](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Richard_III/) that ended the [Wars of the Roses](https://www.worldhistory.org/Wars_of_the_Roses/).

Ruling for 118 years, the Tudors succeeded the House of Plantagenet and gave England some of its most iconic monarchs, Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and [Elizabeth I of England](https://www.worldhistory.org/Elizabeth_I_of_England/), before opening the way to the House of Stuart.
