Henry VII (1457 - 1509) was the first Tudor monarch. His claim to the throne was not strong and he became king after defeating Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.Henry's success on the battlefield ended the Wars of the Roses that had begun in 1455. The Wars of the Roses were a series of battles that were fought between the supporters of the House of Lancaster (Lancastrians) and the supporters of the House of York (Yorkists).The wars were called the Wars of the Roses because the Yorkists were represented by a white rose and the Lancastrians by a red rose.The four eldest sons of Edward III (1312 - 1377) were Edward the Black Prince ( heir to the throne), Lionel of Antwerp ( Duke of Clarence) John of Gaunt (Duke of Lancaster) and Edmund of Langley (Duke of York).
