The English Royal Family has a long and storied history, with many different dynasties ruling over the centuries. The Tudor dynasty ruled from 1485 to 1603, and was followed by the Stuart dynasty, which ruled from 1603 to 1714. The Tudors were known for their strong rule and for their patronage of the arts, while the Stuarts were known for their religious reforms and for their involvement in the English Civil War. Both dynasties had a significant impact on the history of England.
