DYNASTY
The Tudors extended their power beyond modern England,
achieving the full union of England and the Principality of Wales
in 1542 and successfully asserting English authority over the
Kingdom of Ireland. They also maintained the traditional claims
to the Kingdom of France, but none of them tried to make
substance of it, though Henry VIII fought wars with France to try
to reclaim that title. After him, his daughter Mary I lost the claim
on France forever with the Fall of Calais.

and the Stuarts Dynasty came to
the throne.
