Before the Tudors came into power at the Battle Of Bosworth Hill, King Richard III was Plantagenet, as were the kings before him. When the Tudors came into power, they were fairly merciful; while they killed the male heir to the Plantagenet throne, they did not decimate the line- Lady Margaret Pole was the last Plantagenet princess, who was allowed to live in peace in a small Tudor castle on the border of Wales.

The Wars of the Roses was a conflict between the Houses of York & Lancaster, which was decided at Bosworth in 1485. Henry VII was Henry Tudor.

The Plantagenets.

The kings which ruled England before the Tudors were known as the Plantagenets. They were descended from Henry II (1154 - 1189) and this royal house ended with the death of Richard III (1483 - 1485) at the Battle of Bosworth. Henry VII was the first of the Tudor monarchs.

This period of history is known as the Middle Ages as a whole.
