Wow, you're R1b and most of your matches aren't. I am R1a and 2/3 of my matches are R1b.
Henry VII left no legitimate male line descendants. He had a uncle Sir David Owen, who was the illegitimate, but recognised son of Owen Tudor, some of his descendant tree was researched by Douglas Richardson and published in 2011 book 'Plantagenet Ancestry' but I haven't yet checked this out so I am not 100% sure if any living male line descendants of Sir David have yet been traced. I am a possible descendant of his son Henry. Going further back it becomes more complicated as Welsh families used several patroymics such as ap Owen ap Tudor ap Llewelwyn etc. and a family could end up fixing on any number of patronymics or even using manor or placenames.Why isn't there any DNA on the Tudor kings and the wives?
To clarify, I mean living.Henry VII left no legitimate male line descendants.

Three people who claim to be descendants of the Jimenez Dynasty have tested I1-L22 on the royalty project of family tree dna. The dynasty's last ruler Sancho VII, king of Navarre, died in 1234. It is not clear to me of there is paper trail evidence for the claim.
I had a reason to visit Eupedia recently and I quickly spotted a couple of mistakes on this page. I notified Maciamo... or at least I think I did.
The first one has to do with the House of Grimaldi. Thing is, the original agnatic Grimaldis stopped being rulers of Monaco in 1731, with the monarchs from 1731 to 1949 belonging to the French Gouyon de Matignon family instead, although they did use the Grimaldi name too.
The other one is concerned with the Battenbergs. It's generally assumed that Ludwig II, Grand Duke of Hessen-Darmstadt, was not the biological father of Prince Alexander, mostly because his wife was having a long-term affair with their stablemaster at the time of Alexander's conception and birth. In this case, a disclaimer is needed.
I have seen a kit at FTDNA belong to one of the male members of the swedish royal family, and belong to R1b. Recently it was upgraded and now it's R-FGC39239 downstream of DF27-branch, wich is very common in that area where that family Bernadotte has it's origins, from Pau in Béarn, in the Pyrenees.
Thanks for the information!
Do you know which member of the House of Bernadotte was tested?
