King Henry VII of England - born Henry Tudor on 28th January 1457 - became King through his victory over King Richard III at Bosworth on 22nd August 1485. This ended the long civil war known as The Wars of The Roses.

On 18th January 1486 he married Elizabeth of York, daughter of King Edward IV.

Their children were:

Arthur, born 20 September 1486.

As eldest son, Arthur was heir to the throne and was created Prince of Wales.

When he was two years old, his parents contracted his marriage to Catherine, Princess of Aragon and they were actually married on 14th November 1501 and went to live in Ludlow Castle.

Arthur died on 2nd April 1502, aged 15, from what may have been tuberculosis.

Margaret Tudor, born 28th November 1489.

In 1502, as part of a peace treaty between England and Scotland, she was contracted to marry King James IV of Scotland. The marriage took place on 8th August 1503, and their descendant, King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England in 1603.

Henry, born 28th June 1491.

As a young man, Henry was well educated as preparation for a probable intended career in the church, the assumption was that his brother, Arthur would inherit the throne.

When Henry VII died on 21st April 1509 the young Henry became King as Henry VIII.

On 11th June 1509 he married his brother's widow, Catherine and the couple were crowned on 24th June 1509.

This was the first of his six marriages - see the related question link below.

Elizabeth, born 2nd July 1492.

Arrangements were being negotiated for her future marriage to the French Prince Francis (later King Francis I) but Elizabeth died on 14th September 1495, aged 3.

Mary, born 18th March 1496.

On 9th October 1514 Mary married the 52-year old King Lois XII of France and became Queen Consort of France.

Louis died on 1st January 1515, less than 3 months later.

Mary then married Henry Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, on 13th May 1515 and became Duchess of Suffolk.

Through this marriage she was the grandmother of Lady Jane Grey who was monarch of England for little more than a week in July 1553.

Mary was very close to her brother, King Henry VIII, and it is thought that he named his second daughter (later Queen Mary I of England) and his famous warship The Mary Rose in her honour.

Edmund, born 21st February 1499.

Edmund was given the title Duke of Somerset at birth, but was never formally created Duke.

He died on 19th June 1500, aged 15 months.

Katherine, born 2nd February 1503, and died soon after birth.

Her mother, Elizabeth, died on 11th February 1503 from what was thought to be an infection connected to the pregnancy and birth.
