The document provides information about a webquest on the Tudor dynasty that ruled England from 1485 to 1603. Students are asked to investigate the Tudor family by answering questions to learn about their history and monarchs. The webquest involves tasks like researching the impacts of King Henry VIII, the popularity of Queen Elizabeth I, and learning about Hampton Court Palace where Tudor monarchs lived. Students are instructed to create a poster summarizing what they learned about the Tudors at the palace in Kingston upon Thames.

2. Tudor monarchs ruled the Kingdom of England and its
realms, including their ancestral Wales and the Lordship of
Ireland (later the Kingdom of Ireland) from 1485 until
1603. The first monarch, Henry VII, descended through his
mother from a legitimized branch of the English royal
House of Lancaster. The Tudor family rose to power in the
wake of the Wars of the Roses, which left the House of
Lancaster, to which the Tudors were aligned, extinct.

3. In this project, you will investigate the Tudor family, the
famous dynasty in the history of Britain. You are invited to go
