The Tudors. Illegitimate Heirs to the Throne

The Tudors were one of the influential and celebrated dynasties in England’s history. From the end of the bloody Wars of the Roses to the dawn of the Renaissance era, their rule shaped the face of modern Great Britain and laid the foundations of its greatness. During the Tudor reign, the state underwent major changes, including religious reformation, the flourishing of art and literature, and the emergence of the United Kingdom as a sea power. The descendants strengthened royal authority and stood against external threats, which became an important factor in the country’s history, helping it develop and thrive as a nation.
