Question

first answer that's good gets the points, no questions asked

Answer 1

yes War of the Roses

Answer 2

WRONG

Answer 3

In the late fifteenth century, the english were mostly fighting each other, in the Wars of the Roses(the rival royal houses of lancaster and york), until Henry, duke of Richmond, killed richard III at the battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 and became King henry VII, the first of the Tudor monarchs.

Henry VIII was at war with both james IV andJames V of Scotland(of the house of Stuart).  They fought each other several times. James IV was killed fighting Henry at the battle of Flodden Field.   His son James V died after being routed by Henry VIII at the battle of Solway Moss.  he was succeded a few days later by his infant daughter Mary.  Elizabeth I (the last of the Tudors), although not exactly at war with Mary, kept her in prison for nineteen years and finally had her executed.

Answer 4

The War of the Roses (1455–1489) were a series of civil wars fought over the throne of England between adherents of the House of Lancaster and the House of York. Both houses were branches of the Plantagenet royal house, tracing descent from King Edward III.

The House of Lancaster and the House of York was finally united under Henry Tudor, whose father, Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond, had been a half-brother of Henry VI (House of Lancester). He was promised the hand in marriage of Princess Elizabeth of York (House of York) if he could win the battle between the two royal houses and secure the House of Lancester bloodline. He defeated Richard III, and declared himself King of England, married his promised bride, therefore, uniting the two royal houses into one, and formed the House of Tudor.

The House of Stuart or Stewart was a royal house of the Kingdom of Scotland, later also of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Ireland, and finally of the Kingdom of Great Britain. The House of Stuart ruled the Kingdom of Scotland for 336 years, between 1371 and 1707. Queen Elizabeth I of England's closest heir was King James VI of Scotland via her grandfather King Henry VII of England, who was founder of the Tudor dynasty. At Elizabeth's death, James Stuart ascended the thrones of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Ireland and inherited the English claims to the French throne. From 1603, the Stuarts styled themselves "Kings/Queens of Great Britain", though there was no parliamentary union until the reign of Queen Anne, the last monarch of the House of Stuart. The Stuarts were followed by the House of Hanover, under the terms of the Act of Settlement 1701. Members of various cadet and illegitimate branches still survive today.

Answer 5

No!

Henry VIII's father was Henry VII, and the first of the Tudor dynasty.  This didn't last very long: Henry VIII came afterwards, then his son Edward VI, then his daughter Mary I and, finally, the last of the Tudors, Elizabeth I.  Henry VII fought and killed Richard III, the last of the Plantagenet dynasty.

None of Henry VIII's children had any children of their own, so after Elizabeth the crown passed to James VI of Scotland (the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, or Mary Stuart), who united England and Scotland to become James I.  He was the first of the short-lived Stuart dynasty in England.

Before Henry VII, it was the Wars of the Roses, and Henry united the houses of York (white rose) and Lancaster (red rose):

Edit:  before Henry VII, the Plantagenet dynasty ruled.  Then it was the Tudors.  Then the Stuarts.  Helpful, I hope!

Answer 6

No, before the Tudors came, there was this fight called the war of the Roses, between the Houses of Lancaster and York.  Henry VII (Henry VIII' father) Gained the throne by killing the last York King Richard III.

Answer 7

Not the Stuarts, no.  Before King Henry 8, in fact until the accession of his father Henry 7, England was ruled by the royal "houses" of York and Lancaster.  The Houses fought for supremacy, ruining the country's economy and bringing misery and poverty to its people.  Essentially the problem was one of patronage.  The problem began when Yorkist king Richard 2 surrounded himself with cronies and failed to distribute honours, lands and other privileges in a fair way.  The unhappy nobles rose up against him and he was deposed and murdered.  The House of Lancaster then usurped the English throne and reigned uninterrupted until the disastrous reign of Henry 6, whose mother was Catherine de Valois.  Her family had a history of mental illness and Henry was definitely unstable. He was a dismal failure as a monarch, being over-preoccupied with holiness even for the highly devout time in which he lived. A medieval monarch was expected to be a warrior and an impartial judge, as well as a wise distributor of patronage. Henry had no interest in conquering the lost realm of France which English people then considered rightfully theirs. It was next to impossible to get justice in his reign unless you were his friend or a friend of one of his friends. The Paston Letters reveal this - they are contemporary letters which describe how close friends of Henry 6 would simply enter someone's house and order them out, taking possession of it for themselves, and hold it against the rightful owners who could not get justice against Henry's friends. In addition, this shambling moron of a king was an embarrassment to his country. He was deposed by the victorious House of York led by Edward 4, who was everything that Henry was not.  Edward was succeeded by his youngest brother Richard 3, after the legitimacy of Edward's children was seriously questioned after his death. Richard reigned successfully for over 2 years with a reputation as a good and just man, quite unlike the man described by Shakespeare.  In the meantime though, the House of Lancaster was after the throne once more and the young Henry Tudor, descended from the widowed Catherine de Valois and a Welsh archer, Owain Tydyr, invaded England.  He succeeded at the Battle of Bosworth only because Richard was betrayed by the Lords Percy and Stanley, hopeful of gaining honours from Henry.  Richard led his troops and died at Bosworth, fighting to reach Henry who was hiding well away from his own forces, ready to flee.  Henry was well aware that he had precious little legitimate claim to the English throne and so to reinforce this, he married Richard's niece Elizabeth of York, the allegedly illegitimate daughter of Edward 4.  Richard was thought by some to have murdered Elizabeth's brothers, Edward and Richard, to protect his own claim to the throne, but this raises the question of why in that case Richard would have allowed their five sisters to live.  Although girls, their claim to the throne could be transmitted to their husbands and children. Richard did not even try to marry the five girls off to his own supporters (which was probably foolish of him).  The marriage of Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York brought the warring houses of Lancaster and York together, symbolised by their new emblem the Tudor rose.  Lancaster's symbol was a red rose, York's was a white rose. The new Tudor rose was not pink but what we now call a "tea-rose" - a sort of pale peach colour.  The Tudor dynasty lasted through the reigns of Henry 7, Henry 8, Edward 6 who died aged 16 of TB, Mary and Elizabeth.  The Stuart dynasty came to the throne after the death of Elizabeth, with the accession of her cousin, James.  James was the son of Mary Queen of s***s (sorry, Scots) and Henry Lennox. Mary was the granddaughter of Henry 8's disloyal sister Margaret, Queen of Scotland.  The Stuart dynasty lasted until the death of Queen Anne in the early 18th century, when the House of Hanover succeeded.  I hope this was interesting for you. It is for me!
