An infographic illustrating the genealogy and royal succession of the House of Tudor that held the throne of 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 and mother of Henry VI) and won the crown of the Kingdom of England following Henry VII Tudor’s victory against Richard III that ended the 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, before opening the way to the House of Stuart.
