Henry VII

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. The usurper Richard III wanted him dead, and in his exile Henry Tudor was left with no choice—either invade England or be traded to Richard to meet certain death. Henry’s father's death at the beginning of the Wars of the Roses left Henry to grow up in almost constant danger. In 1485, his "ragtag" invading army at Bosworth faced overwhelming odds, but succeeded. Henry went on to become England’s wisest and greatest king, but it would be his son Henry VIII and granddaughter Elizabeth I who would take all the credit.

Henry Tudor, viitorul Henric al VII-lea, a fost numit cel mai putin probabil rege al Angliei. Cu toate acestea, ascensiunea sa de la obscuritate a fost prevestita de bardi, iar pana in 1485, baia de sange familiala din Razboaiele Trandafirilor l-a lasat pe Henry ca singurul reclamant adult la Lancastrian la tron.
