    The Tudor dynasty ruled England from 1485 to 1603 and saw significant social, economic, and political changes. Under Henry VII and his successors, England transitioned from a wool exporter to a producer of manufactured cloth goods. Population growth led to a surplus of laborers and declining wages. The Tudor monarchs increased royal revenues through taxes on sheep farming, land, customs, and legal decisions. They strengthened the monarchy's power over the nobles and expanded England's overseas exploration and international influence through marriage alliances and war with France and Scotland.
