The Tudors ruled England from 1485 to 1603.  The first Tudor king was Henry VII.  He became king after the battle of Bosworth Field, which ended the War of the Roses.  The way of life for ordinary people in England changed a lot as a result of many things that happened during the Tudor era. 

King Henry VIII is probably the most famous King that England has ever had.  Henry married six times and had two of his wives beheaded!  He had two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth and a son, Edward.

 

The Stuarts followed the Tudors to the throne of England when Elizabeth I died without having children.  James I, son of Mary Queen of Scots became the first King of both England and Scotland.

The Gunpowder Plot, the Great Plague and the Fire of London all happened during the Stuart era.
