Description
Henry VII: Treason and Trust Henry VII was an unlikely monarch, an exile and outsider who seized the throne after a bloody battle at Bosworth Field in 1485. His victory seemed to mark the end of a cycle of violence and division among England's nobility, known as the Wars of the Roses. Yet, Henry's rule was marked by ruthless control and a determination to convince his people that his reign was both rightful and effective. To break the cycle of conflict and division, Henry had to balance his need for power with the need to establish a stable and legitimate government. Sean Cunningham explores how Henry VII achieved this, and in doing so, founded the Tudor dynasty. This concise and expert account sheds new light on one of England's most fascinating and overlooked monarchs.
