Henry VII: Consolidation of Power
(1485-1509)
- War of the Roses context. Henry Tudor was the son of Edmund Tudor , Earl of Richmond
and Margaret Beaufort. Edmund died a few months before Henry was born, so brought
up by Mags and his Uncle Jasper. During the Wars of the Roses, leading members of the
House of Lancaster were killed. This meant Henry became the Lancastrian with the
strongest claim to the throne
- Sensing danger, Jasper took Henry to Brittany, France where he spent the next 14 years. Henry
lived quietly and posed no threat to Edward IV's reign. However, when Richard III became King,
things changed. Rich was unpopular and there was a rebellion against him, led by the Duke of
Buckingham. During this time, Henry attracted some key supporters and was living in Paris. He
was also receiving financial support from the King of France
- August 1485: Henry left France with a small force of French soldiers and landed in South Wales. He soon
gained support from a powerful landowner, Rhys Ap Thomas. Henry gained more soldiers and support as
he marched through Wales and the Midlands. Rich was residing at Nottingham castle and wanted to stop
Henry from reaching London

- Battle of Bosworth: August 22nd 1485
- Henry's forces were outnumbered and Rich III arrived at the battlefield first, securing a better
position. The Earl of Northumberland and the Stanley brothers were present at the battle but
initially did not take a side and watched the fighting. Rich attempted to reach Henry and kill
him. At this point, Sir William Stanley decided to intervene and his forces attacked Richard's
cavalry. The Earl of Northumberland did not come to Richard's aid and the King was
eventually killed. Once news of the Rich's death spread, the royal forces dispersed and Henry
was crowned on the battlefield by Thomas Stanley

- Henry's claim:
- Main claim to the throne was through his mother, Margaret Beaufort
- Margaret was the great-granddaughter of John of Gaunt, one
of Edward III's sons anf father of Henry IV. This meant that

and a distant cousin of Henry IV. On his father's side, Henry
Tudor was also related to Henry VI
- Henry's claim was weak compared to those on the Yorkist side. Elizabeth of York ,
Edmund the Earl of Warwick and the de la Pole brothers all arguably had a stronger claim
to the throne than Henry

- Coronation
- 30th October 1485: Had his coronation on the day before Parliament
met. This was deliberate as he did not want people to think his power as
King derived from Parliament. Ceremony was important because the
nobilty were required to swear an oath of loyalty. It also required the
approval of the Catholic Church. People believed the monarch was
divinely chosen by God. Therefore, rebelling against Henry was rebelling
against God

- Marriage
- January 1486: Married Elizabeth of York. He had to ask the permission of
the Pope to marry as they were distant cousins. This symbolised a union
between the Houses of Lancaster and York and an end to the War of the
Roses. He was careful to marry after his coronation as he did not want to
suggest his claim to the throne was via his wife. He created the Tudor rose
as propaganda.

imprison the Earl of Warwick by using Acts of Attainder

imprisoned by Henry and was even crowned as King
Edward in Ireland in May 1487. The conspiracy was
put together by John de la Pole, himself a potential
Yorkist claimant. Maragaret of Burgundy funded this.

- Perkin Warbeck 1491-99
- Details: He claimed to be Richard, Duke of York. Began in 1491, impersonated him in Ireland. After a
brief appearance at the court of Charles VIIIof France, the following year he was forced to flee from
France, to the court of Mags of Burgundy, where he was trained as a potential Yorkist prince and began
to draw English courtiers into his conspiracies. Several years after the Battle of Stoke in 1487, Warbeck's
first attempt to land in England in 1495 was a disaster. Henry had been informed by one of his royal
agents, Sir Robert Clifford, Warbeck was quickly defeated and fled to the court of James IV of Scotland.
It could have proved costly because one of the accomplices to the conspirators was Sir William Stanley.
He was Henry's step uncle and Lord Chamberlain, heading the household government.
- How did Henry deal with them?
- In 1496, a small scottish force on Warbeck's behalf crossed the border but quickly retreated. James then
gave into Henry's offer of marriage to his daughter, Margaret. Warbeck then made a final attempt to
seek the English throne by trying to exploit the uncertainties of the Cornish rebellion, but his forces were
crushed and he was forced to surrender to the King. Henry at first allowed Warbeck to stay at court but
confined him to the tower after he tried to escape. He was accused of treason and himself and the Earl of
Warwick were tried and executed
