He was born at Bolingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire, hence his other name, Henry Bolingbroke ( /bɒlɪŋbrʊk/). His father, John of Gaunt, was the third son of Edward III, and enjoyed a position of considerable influence during much of the reign of Henry's cousin Richard II, whom Henry eventually deposed.

1471, and disputed King of France from 1422 to 1453 Died: night of 21/22 May 1471

Henry was the only child and heir of King Henry V of England. He was born on 6 December 1421 at Windsor. Cardinal Beaufort and the Earl of Suffolk persuaded the king that the best way of pursuing peace with France was through a marriage with Margaret of Anjou , the niece of King Charles VII 's queen consort, Marie of Anjou .Henry was imprisoned in the Tower of London , where he died. In all likelihood, Henry's opponents had kept him alive up to this point rather than leave the Lancaster's with a far more formidable leader in Henry's son Edward.

Died: 21st May 1471 at the Tower,

London

Henry VI was the only child of King Henry V and Katharine of Valois, born on 6th December 1421 at Windsor Castle. He became King of England, upon his father's death, when he was only nine months old. The Council assumed the regency, but, as the King's eldest uncle, John, Duke of Bedford, was usually fighting in France, his younger uncle, Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, was practically allowed to act as Protector.

Wales
King of England
Died: on 21 April 1509

Henry ended the dynastic

struggle known as the Wars of the Roses, founded the Tudor dynasty and modernized England's government and legal system.
His father, Edmund Tudor, died two months before he was born. Henry was brought up by his uncle, Jasper Tudor, who fled with Henry to France after the Lancastrian defeat in 1471. In 1483, Henry became the leading Lancastrian claimant to the English throne and in December of that year, promised to marry Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV. Henry's promise of marriage united the opponents of Richard III, who had usurped the English throne from, and probably murdered, Elizabeth's young brother in the same year.

from 21 April 1509
Died: 28 January 1547 in the

Palace of Whitehall

He was Lord, and later King, of Ireland, as well as continuing the nominal claim by the English monarchs to the Kingdom of France. Henry was the second monarch of the House of Tudor, succeeding his father, Henry VII. His desire to provide England with a male heir — which stemmed partly from personal vanity and partly because he believed a daughter would be unable to consolidate the Tudor Dynasty and the fragile peace that existed following the Wars of the Roses — led to the two things for which Henry is remembered —his six marriages, and the English Reformation, making England a mostly Protestant nation. In later life he became morbidly obese and his health suffered; his public image is frequently depicted as one of a lustful, egotistical, harsh, and insecure king.

flirtatious. She was bored with having an old husband and sought out young friends among the courtiers.
Katherine's actions led to her being accused of adultery and subsequently executed in 1542.
