The Tudors The Tudor reign began with the succession of Henry Tudor (Henry VII) in 1485, after he defeated Richard III in the War of Roses, uniting the Houses of York and Lancaster. The Tudor Rose is shown as a symbol of the two united houses, since the House of York was associated with a white rose, and the House of Lancaster a red rose. From this, it began a dynasty of powerful monarchs that would rule for 118 years until the death of Elizabeth I in 1603.
