The Tudor dynasty or House of Tudor is a series of five monarchs who ruled England from 1485 until 1603. The three main monarchs each played an important part in turning Britain from a European backwater still immersed in the Middle Ages into a powerful Renaissance state that would soon dominate most of the planet.

The five Tudor monarchs were:

  • [1485]-[1509]
  • [1509]-[1547]
  • [1547]-[1553]
  • [1553]-[1558]
  • [1558]-[1603]
