RMP9H0X6–Elizabeth of York (1466 – 1503) was the wife of Henry VII and the first Tudor queen. The daughter of Edward IV and niece of Richard III, she married Henry in 1485, following the latter's victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field, which started the last phase of the Wars of the Roses. Together, she and Henry had a total of four sons, three of whom died before their father, leaving their brother, Henry VIII, to succeed his father as king.

RMP9H0WX–The Great Seal of Henry VII (1457 – 1509), first monarch of the House of Tudor and King of England and Lord of Ireland from his seizure of the crown on 22 August 1485 to his death. He attained the throne when his forces defeated King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, the culmination of the Wars of the Roses. He was the last king of England to win his throne on the field of battle. He cemented his claim by marrying Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV and niece of Richard III. Henry was successful in restoring the power and stability of the English monarchy after the civil war.

RMP9H0Y9–The Great Seal of Henry VIII (1491 – 1547), King of England from 1509 until his death and the second Tudor monarch, succeeding his father, Henry VII. He is best known for his six marriages, in particular his efforts to have his first marriage, to Catherine of Aragon, annulled. His disagreement with the Pope on the question of such an annulment led Henry to initiate the English Reformation, separating the Church of England from papal authority. He appointed himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England and dissolved convents and monasteries, for which he was excommunicated.

RMP9H139–King Henry VIII of England entering the Field of the Cloth of Gold, a site in Balinghem – between Ardres in France and Guînes in the then-English Pale of Calais – that hosted a summit from 7 to 24 June 1520, between Henry and King Francis I of France. It was arranged to increase the bond of friendship between the two kings following the Anglo-French treaty of 1514. These two monarchs would meet again in 1532 to arrange Francis's assistance in pressuring Pope Clement VII to pronounce Henry's first marriage as illegitimate.
