Scotland Northern Ireland England Wales PembrokeEngland Young Henry His father, Edmund Tudor, Henry’s mother, Margaret Beaufort, died two months before Henry was a descendant of King Edward III. was born. Henry, therefore, had a distant claim to the throne. The House of Lancaster Between 1455 and 1485, a civil war raged between two branches of the Plantagenet family. One branch was known as the House of Lancaster, which was represented by a red rose emblem; the other was the House of York, which was represented by a white rose emblem. Both sides wanted control of the throne of England. House of Lancaster House of York The House of Lancaster Henry Tudor belonged to the House of Lancaster. Despite his distant claim to the throne, his mother was well aware that someone might want to get rid of Henry. She entrusted her son to the care and protection of his uncle, Jasper Tudor. House of York In 1471, when Henry Tudor was 14 years old, Edward IV regained the throne. As soon as he became King of England again, he executed many supporters of the House of Lancaster. Jasper decided to take the young Henry to Brittany, in the north-west of France, to keep him safe. Brittany France Richard III In 1483, Edward IV died. His son, also called Edward, became Edward V of England. Because Edward V was only 12 years old, Richard became the protector of the realm. This meant that he would make all the important decisions until Edward was old enough. However, rumours spread that Edward was not the rightful king and that Richard should be king. As a result, Richard became Richard III of England. Support for Henry Meanwhile, support was growing for Henry Tudor. He promised that he would marry Edward IV’s daughter, Elizabeth of York. This would end the War of the Roses because it would unite the Lancastrians and the Yorkists. At this time, Richard III started to lose support amongst the more powerful noble families in England. Furthermore, Richard's son died which meant he did not have an heir to the throne. These events prompted Henry to seize his opportunity to claim the crown. Henry raised an army and he landed in Milford Haven in August 1485. Battle of Bosworth Field Richard III did not expect Henry to have much support; however, Henry began to gather supporters. On 22nd August, their armies met at Bosworth Field in Leicestershire. Despite having a larger army, Richard was Bosworth defeated and killed on the battlefield. Henry was proclaimed King Henry VII on Crown Hill nearby. Richard’s crown was taken from the battlefield where it had fallen, and used to crown Henry almost immediately. Uniting the White and Red Roses Henry kept his promise and married Elizabeth of York. To represent the union of the two sides, he created a Tudor emblem incorporating the red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of York. This symbol was known as the Tudor rose. The Tudor Rose A Successful Reign Despite facing numerous threats during his reign, Henry made England a more peaceful country. Firstly, he signed trade agreements with the Netherlands and France. Furthermore, his daughter, Margaret, married the King of Scotland to secure peace between the two countries. Finally, more money was raised for the government by taxation. His eldest son, Arthur, married a Spanish princess, Catherine of Aragon in 1501. However, Arthur died a year later. Henry’s younger son, also named Henry, the heir to the throne. A Strong Inheritance When he died of tuberculosis on 21st April 1509, Henry’s son inherited a more stable and wealthier country. Henry VII was buried with his wife, Elizabeth of York, in Westminster Abbey.
