Where Did the Tudors Come From?

Long, long ago, before your grandparents were even born, England was ruled by different families. But then, a new family called the Tudors came to power! They started with a king named Henry VII. He won a big battle and became the first Tudor king. This was like winning the biggest prize in a game, and it changed who got to be in charge of England!

Meet the Famous Tudors!

The most famous Tudor was King Henry VIII. He was a very big man, much bigger than a school bus! He had six wives, and some of them had very sad stories. His daughter, Queen Elizabeth I, was also super famous. She was called the 'Virgin Queen' because she never got married and ruled England for a very long time, like a super-powered queen!

What Did the Tudors Do?

The Tudors built amazing castles and palaces that are still standing today. They also sent ships sailing across the ocean to explore new lands. Queen Elizabeth I was a great leader who helped England become strong and famous. It was a time of big changes, like when you learn a new, exciting skill in school!
