    • Henry was born in 1457 to Edmund Tudor and Margaret Beaufort. He was coronated in Westminster Abbey in October 1485. Henry also married Elizabeth of York in 1486, and in doing so he unified the two houses that had previously been at war.The Tudor emblem was thereore a rose with both red and white petals, illustrating the fusion of the white rose of York with the red rose of Lancaster.After decades of war, Henry VII wanted to maintain peace while he reigned, in order to ensure economic growth within his kingdom. He drew up alliances with Brittany, France and Spain at different points throughout his reign. Henry also encouraged the Pope, Julius II, to try to establish peace between the various Christian realms.Despite having almost no experience in finances when he came to the throne, Henry VII was able to save the country from near-bankruptcy, though he did so by extracting wealth from his subjects.Henry VII had five sons, including Arthur Tudor and Henry Tudor. As the elder son, Arthur Tudor was the heir to the throne, but he died of a disease in his youth and left Henry as the heir. Not long after the death of his son, Henry VII’s wife also died, and her death took a heavy toll (laisser des traces, des séquelles) on Henry as he was very loyal to her.Henry VII died in 1509. His son became king and was crowned Henry VIII later that same year. Although he was criticized for his taxation laws, he was remembered as a King who look outward and took lessons from other rulers at the time to better manage his own kingdom.

  • The Battle of Bosworth

The Battle of Bosworth represents the end of the Plantagenet era. This battle put an end to decades of rivalry between the Lancaster and York family.

Richard III was the leader of the York family while Henry was the only Lancastrian heir. Richard was known for his military leadership and skill, having fought in many decisive battles during the Battle of the Roses. Henry, on the other hand was relatively inexperienced since he lived in exile for most of his life. The Battle of Bosworth  is considered the first military battle of Henry Tudor’s career.

During this battle, Richard III had around 15,000 men at his side, while Henry had three times fewer, around 5,000 men.

Finally, Richard III died in battle and he was the last English king to do so.

  • The war of the Roses

Once the war with France (the Hundred Year’s War) ended in 1453, a series of civil wars began in England and lasted until 1485. These were fought between rival branches of the Plantagenets, the House of York (whose symbol was a white rose) and the House of Lancaster (whose symbol was a red rose). Henry VI was from the Lancastrian branch. He was a weak ruler who suffered fits of madness. When he died, his successor was Edward IV, from the York branch. His son, Edward V who was only 12 when his father died succeeded him. Since he was too young to rule, his uncle Richard III became his Lord Protector and eventually locked his nephew in the Tower of London to get the throne.
