Before it

After it

How it ended, as its article says

Replaced by Tudors. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

The Tudors succeeded the House of Plantagenet as rulers of the Kingdom of England, and were succeeded by the Scottish House of Stuart.

What led to it, and what came of it

  • Dynastic cycle and the decay of group feeling

    Ibn Khaldun 1377 · Turchin & Nefedov 2009

    Applies by its own logic: the condition it names held here, and this is the kind of outcome it predicts — adverse regime change or the state's ending.
