The Tudors came from the Welsh noble family Twddur, which is one of the branches of the Coilchen family, and thus had the right to rule over all of Britain. The Tudors began to play a role in English history with Maredid's son Owen Tudor, who married Catherine of France, widow of Henry V. The Tudor era was the period of the Renaissance in England, the formation of absolutism, the country's active participation in European politics, the flourishing of culture (material and spiritual), economic reforms (fencing), which led to impoverishment (pauperization) of a significant part of the population. One of the most dramatic events of the period is the English Reformation, undertaken by Henry VIII for personal reasons (lack of Rome's sanction for a new marriage), Counter-Reformation and repression against Protestants under Mary, a new return to Anglicanism under Elizabeth. Under the Tudors, England reached America (Cabot's expedition - end XV century) and began its colonization. The most important political event that strengthened the unity of the nation was the naval victory over the Spanish “Invincible Armada” in 1588. The Tudors set an example of how much one clan can do not only for the country, but for the whole world, almost by chance coming to power at the right time moment. The era of their reign is a period of schism of the Anglican Church, but also of tremendous changes in social life and economics, the time of great philosophers, scientists and inventors.
