The Founder of the Tudor Dynasty!
Product Description:
Henry VII was the first monarch of the Tudor dynasty. He ascended to the throne in 1485 after defeating King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, effectively ending the Wars of the Roses. His reign marked the beginning of a new era in English history and brought stability to the kingdom after years of civil war.
Henry VII was known for his meticulous financial management. He implemented several financial reforms that strengthened the royal treasury. By the end of his reign, he had amassed a substantial amount of wealth, which helped to secure the Tudor dynasty and fund future endeavors, including his son's (Henry VIII) ambitious projects.
Henry VII strengthened his position through a strategic marriage alliance by marrying Elizabeth of York, the daughter of Edward IV. This marriage united the warring houses of Lancaster and York, symbolically ending the Wars of the Roses and legitimizing his claim to the throne. Their union produced several children, including Henry VIII, ensuring the continuation of the Tudor line.
