Description
Henry VII: The Maligned Tudor King Henry Tudor, the future Henry VII, has been called the most unlikely King of England. Yet his rise from obscurity was foretold by the bards, and by 1485, the familial bloodbath of the Wars of the Roses left Henry as the sole adult Lancastrian claimant to the throne. In the aftermath of the Wars, Henry's father, Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond, had been killed at the beginning of the conflict, leaving Henry to grow up in almost constant danger, imprisonment and exile. His 'ragtag' invading army at Bosworth in 1485 faced overwhelming odds, but succeeded in securing the throne. Despite this, it would be his son Henry VIII and granddaughter Elizabeth I who would take all the credit for the Tudor dynasty's achievements. This book offers a fresh perspective on the life of Henry VII, a king who has often been overlooked in favour of his more famous successors.
