How did the Wars of the Roses lead to the beginning of the Tudor dynasty?

The Wars of the Roses concluded by facilitating the rise of the Tudor dynasty through the military victory and political consolidation of Henry Tudor.12

Henry Tudor, the last surviving male with a credible claim to the house of Lancaster, emerged as a viable leader after the Yorkist party fractured under the rule of Richard III. In 1485, Henry returned from exile and defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, an event widely regarded as the effective end of the civil wars.3425

To secure his position and prevent further conflict, Henry VII took two critical steps:
* Unification of Claims: In 1486, he married Elizabeth of York, the daughter of Edward IV, effectively uniting the warring Lancastrian and Yorkist factions.345
* Consolidation of Power: He established his legitimacy through parliamentary recognition and ruthlessly reasserted royal authority, including the confiscation of Yorkist estates and the rigorous administration of justice to stabilize the crown's finances.36

By ending the internal strife and merging the rival houses, Henry VII successfully established the Tudor line on the English throne.12
