HistorIQly Families
Three families written up in full and free to read — every crown they held, and the reason behind each succession, sourced. Every other ruling house on Wikidata is here too: search for it.
England · 1461–1485
The last Yorkist kings and the marriage that ended the Wars of the Roses. Start with Edward IV, whose daughter married the man who took the crown from his brother.
England & Ireland · 1485–1603
Five monarchs, one family, and the questions that shaped modern Britain: a crown won in battle, six marriages in search of an heir, a nine-day queen, and a childless queen whose successor came from Scotland.
Scotland, England & Ireland · 1488–1714
From Flodden to the Act of Settlement: the Scottish house that inherited England, lost a king to the executioner's block, was restored, deposed again, and finally handed its crowns to a German cousin by statute.
