The Tudor era, spanning 118 years, emerged from the aftermath of the Wars of the Roses. Henry VII's victory at Bosworth in 1485 secured his tenuous claim to the throne, symbolized by the Tudor Rose, an emblem of peace. Yet, the period was marred by unrest. One notable rebellion was Kett's Rebellion in 1549, led by farmer Robert Kett. Fueled by anger over land enclosure, the rebels, primarily commoners, marched to Norwich, establishing their own government. The Crown's response led to a fierce battle, resulting in the rebellion's defeat.
