Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The House of Lancaster won the Battle of Bosworth Field (1485) and the War of the Roses, making their leader, Henry Tudor, King Henry VII of England. It resulted in the end of the Plantagenet dynasty and the beginning the Tudor dynasty, which reigned for 118 of England's most illustrious years. The Lancasters and Yorks were rival houses of the Plantagenet dynasty that fought for the English throne for 30 years. Henry Tudor was the son of an earl, but not a direct claimant to the throne by birth. He managed to gain military support, primarily in his native Wales, and defeated King Richard III, who died in battle, at Bosworth Field. Under the Tudors, there was a strengthening of the central government and the nation became one of the great world powers.
