Description

Discover the remarkable story of Henry VII, the often-overlooked founder of the Tudor dynasty. While his son, Henry VIII, and granddaughter, Elizabeth I, capture most of the historical attention, Henry VIIs achievements are equally significant. He dismantled the Plantagenet rule that had dominated England for over four centuries, transforming a fractured and war-torn nation into one of the wealthiest countries in Europe by the time of his death in 1509. His reign was marked by thrift, prudence, and astute political maneuvering. This insightful narrative by British historian James Gairdner (22 March 1828 ‚ì 4 November 1912) delves into the intricacies of 15th-century and early Tudor history. - Summary by Cavaet
