Henry was born in Pembroke Castle that

stands on the bank

terrifical dow in West Wales on January

the 28th 14:57 Henry's father was Edmund

Judah the first Earl of Richmond and his

mother was Margaret Beaufort his father

died three months before his birth and

his mother was a mere child at 13 years

of age Henry would be their only child

he married Elizabeth of York on January

the 18th 1486 both Henry and Elizabeth

were great-great grandchildren of John

of Gaunt being third cousins the Union

would give their children a strong claim

to the throne

it also unified the houses of York and

Lancaster the Judah rose symbolizes the

joining of these two great houses by

combining the red rose of Lancaster and

the White Rose of York together they

have seven children Arthur Prince of

Wales first husband of Catherine of

Aragon

Margaret Queen of Scots Henry VIII eggs

of England Elizabeth Tudor Mary Queen of

France Edmund Tudor Duke of Somerset and

Catherine Tudor by all accounts their

marriage was a very happy one

Henry appeared quite heartbroken upon

Elizabeth's death after the birth of

their last child who sadly also died

Henry's education as a noble would have

been of the very highest quality taught

to read and write he would also have

been taught horsemanship on how to fight

which would ultimately prove his making

as his battle to attain the throne would

be won by defeating Richard the third at

the Battle of Bosworth Field Henry the

seventh would become King on August the

22nd 1486 after he won the battle would

Richard the third at Bosworth Field he

subsequently cemented his claim to the

throne by wedding Elizabeth of York in

order to secure his future and that of

his issue

Henry had Parliament repealed tight

Sheila's Meridius the son doing the

invalidity of Elizabeth of York sperits

Edward the fourth and Elizabeth

Woodville's marriage this in itself

meant Elizabeth of York was once again

legitimate and in their own right

entitled to be considered in line for

the throne

Henry's next step was to retroactively

Lee have himself pronounced King from

August the 21st

before the Battle of Bosworth Field

meaning anyone who had fought against

him could and would be guilty of treason

leaving Henri legally within his rights

to confiscate their lands and properties

and those of Richard the third

and therefore restoring his own lands

and property Henry the seventh will go

down in history as being the king that

founded the Tudor dynasty he ruled the

peaceful realm by implementing political

and monetary initiatives that saw the

country grow keeping Nobles under

control reducing by stealthy taxes the

abilities to keep private armies and

implementing legal proceedings across

lands it would appear in Henry's latter

years that the stability his strategy

had bought of the country early on was

being abused but when the time came and

the power shifted from father to son

these over zealous activities were

curtailed Henry's eldest son Arthur heir

apparent but after his marriage to

Catherine of Aragon and whilst on a

visit to Ludlow castle he unexpectedly

died leaving a very distraught father

and mother within the year Henry's wife

Elizabeth of York would also die shortly

after childbirth together with the child

Henry was thus trice believed for his

eldest son his wife and baby daughter

nevertheless he did consider marrying

again largely to try and maintain the

Spanish stability and later when he

decided against her marriage to

Catherine of Aragon deciding his son

Henry should marry her he took a small

interest in the queen of Naples who had

also recently been widowed again this

came to nothing and at Richmond Palace

on April the 21st 1509 King Henry the

seventh succumbed to tuberculosis his

body was laid to rest alongside that of

his beloved wife Elizabeth at

Westminster Abbey
