    HENRY VII

    Henry the 7th was father of Henry the 8th . He


    was the 1st of the Tudor monarchs and battled
    through one of the most famous Tudor
    battles- the war of the roses.
    His claim to the English throne was feeble
    at best. His father was Edmund Tudor, a
    Welshman of Welsh royal lineage, but that
    was not important as far as his claim to the
    English throne went. What was important
    was his heritage through his mother,
    Margaret Beaufort, a descendant of Edward
    III. This descent from Edward was through
    his third son, John of Gaunt. John's third
    wife, Katherine Swynford had several
    children with his mistress before he
    married her. The children may have been
    descendants to Edward III, but were barred
    from succession, they had been born out of
    wedlock. Margaret Beaufort was one of
    those children born before the marriage of
    John and Katherine. So Henry claimed the
    throne.

    HENRY VIII

    Henry VII is probably the most


    famous Tudor monarch of them all,
    with his seven wives and love for
    beheading; he knocks them all of top
    spot.
    The Young King
    Shortly after becoming king, Henry VIII took
    Catherine of Aragon as his bride on 11 June
    1509. He inherited 1.5 million pounds from his
    father and succeeded in the first peaceful shift
    of power after the Wars of the Roses. Henry
    brought a youth and energy to the Court that
    had long been lacking and Henry dreamed of
    glory beyond the hunt and joust.
    Catherine of Aragon gave birth to their first
    child, a son named Henry after his father, in
    January 1511. The child died two months later,
    and was destined to be the first of many
    unhappy births the couple would suffer. Henry
    consoled himself by going to war against
    France, hoping to compete with his ancestors
    Edward III and Henry V.

    Before The
    Beheading

    Henry Tudor, named after his


    father, Henry VII, was born on
    June 28, 1491 in Greenwich
    Palace, his mother: Elizabeth of
    York. Since he was the second
    son, and not expected to
    become king, we know little of
    his childhood until the death of
    his older brother Arthur, Prince
    of Wales. We know that Henry
    attended the wedding
    celebrations of Arthur and his
    bride, Catherine of Aragon, in
    November 1501 when he was
    10 years old.

    Lady Jane- Grey

    Jane grey was possibly the


    shortest reigning queen of
    England, she was only for 9
    The true tragedy of Janedays!
    Grey is that her death
    was not a fault of her own, but of the unfortunate

    fact of her heritage and of her religion. She most


    likely never really wanted to be Queen, but it was
    not something that was under her control. Her
    ambitious parents (Frances Brandon and Henry
    Grey), along with John Dudley, father of her
    husband, Guilford Dudley, wanted to keep a
    Protestant monarch on the throne if Edward were
    to die without an heir and to have that monarch
    under their thumbs. The best way to do that was
    to make their own children King and Queen.
    Four days after Edward's death on July 6, 1553,
    Jane was proclaimed Queen of England. However,
    Mary, who was the rightful heir to the throne
    according to Henry VIII's will, was gathering
    support in Suffolk. She and her followers rode into
    London nine days later and imprisoned Jane and
    her supporters. Mary was the next Queen of
    England.
