It began with Henry II and saw the establishment of common law, the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215, and the growth of Parliament’s power. This era was characterized by conflicts like the Hundred Years’ War and internal strife, including the Wars of the Roses. The period ended with Richard III's defeat by Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth, leading to the rise of the Tudor dynasty.
