These historical family trees are charts that open in the editor on this page. Each one is drawn from named sources, most carry portraits, and every chart can be moved, enlarged, corrected and extended as a copy of your own.
The editor shows the chart as a preview, and nothing in it is saved. A chart opens in the full editor from the button above it.
The chart below grows with the scroll from Henry VII to Elizabeth I. The crown moves to each monarch in turn, and those who have died are drawn in grey. With reduced motion, every reign is listed beside the chart as it stood in 1603.
A crown won in battle. Henry Tudor defeats Richard III at Bosworth and marries Elizabeth of York, joining the two houses that fought the Wars of the Roses.
Six marriages in thirty-eight years. Two wives are executed, two marriages are annulled, and each of three wives leaves one child who will reign.
The only son, crowned at nine. He rules through his uncles and dies at fifteen, naming Lady Jane Grey his heir.
Jane Grey holds the throne for nine days. Mary, daughter of Catherine of Aragon, takes it and marries Philip of Spain.
Anne Boleyn’s daughter reigns for forty-four years and never marries. With her the Tudor line ends.
One crown and three generations. The article sets out every reign with its dates, the six marriages of Henry VIII in one table, the three Acts of Succession, the nine days of Lady Jane Grey and the Scottish line that inherited in 1603, with a numbered source for every statement.
The catalogue lists every chart of the section. Search by the name of a family or of any person on a chart, or narrow the list by era and by kind. The house, the place and the years come from the chart itself.
All 83 families are shown.

The editor draws three kinds of chart on one notation. A chart opened from this page is a family history chart, which keeps every symbol of a genogram and adds what a dynasty needs.
A person carries titles with their years, and the chart can write the title and the reign under the name.
Each person can belong to a house, and the chart can fill people by house so that two lines are told apart.
Each person can be drawn as a round portrait over a name plate, with the painter and licence kept in the credit.
A set of lines made for history stands beside the relationship lines of a genogram.
Twelve further typefaces, among them book and inscription faces, are offered to history and story charts.
The chart exports as PNG and PDF with a free account, and it prints from the browser.
It shows who descended from whom, who married whom and in what order, with the years of each life. On these charts a square is a man, a circle is a woman, a line between two people is a union and a line that drops from it leads to a child.
The charts of the template library name their sources on their cards, the charts of myth name the text they follow, and the sources of a chart with its own article are numbered under the article. Where the record is uncertain the chart says so in a note and does not guess.
Every chart opens on this page without an account. Opening a chart of the template library in the full editor, saving it and exporting it need a free account. The charts the editors publish in Community open in the full editor for everyone.
A genealogy of gods is read and drawn in the same way as a dynasty, and it reaches us through named texts. Each chart of myth follows one text, such as the Theogony of Hesiod or the Prose Edda, because the texts differ.
Open the editor, set the chart kind to family history in the Style panel and draw the family. A chart can be published to Community with a free account, where other people can open and copy it.
The portraits of the families with photos are credited with each family in the template library. The others are listed here, each with its file on Wikimedia Commons.
Start from a blank chart or from any chart on this page. The editor is free to try, and your work stays in this browser until you choose to save it.
