A Royal History Of England: The Tudors

Part of A Royal History of England series, edited by Antonia Fraser

Henry Tudor, who traced his claim to the throne through his mother's line, came to power as Henry VII at the battle of Bosworth in 1485, ending the bloody interlude of dynastic struggle between Lancaster and York, heralding the start of the glorious and famous Tudor dynasty. He was a brilliant administrator and he founded a royal house whose monarchs are some of the most famous in British history.
