Cevap
The correct answer is that Henry Tudor, from the House of Lancaster, defeated Richard III of the House of York, which ended the Middle Ages and began the Tudor dynasty.
The victory of Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 is the event that historians traditionally cite as the end of the Middle Ages. As a member of the House of Lancaster, his victory over the Yorkist King Richard III led to his coronation as Henry VII and the founding of the Tudor dynasty, which unified the warring factions.
