THE HOUSE OF TUDOR (Дом Тюдоров)

The Tudor kings and queens ruled (1) since 1485 and their dynasty (2) lasted 118 years. Queen Elizabeth I was the (3) latest Tudor ruler. Her father, King Henry VIII, was probably the most famous English monarch. Just 18, Henry VIII came to the (4) throne in 1509. He was (5) established by his councilors to marry Catherine of Aragon which he duly did. He became heir to the throne because his (6) older brother Arthur had died in 1502. During his first years of rule he (7) engaged himself largely with foreign policy, defeating both the French and the Scottish in battle in 1512 and 1513. The Tudor period was also a time of great cultural significance, giving (8) rise to figures such as the playwright William Shakespeare and political figures like Sir Thomas More and Cardinal Wolsey.
