@driphistorian: THE OG TUDOR | Henry VII (1457–1509) was King of England and Lord of Ireland from 1485 until his death. As the primary claimant for the House of Lancaster, his victory over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 effectively ended the decades-long civil conflicts known as the Wars of the Roses and established the Tudor dynasty. To consolidate his fractured realm and legitimise his claim, he married Elizabeth of York, visually uniting the rival factions under the newly created Tudor rose. Henry’s subsequent reign was defined by fiscal caution and the centralisation of royal authority. Facing numerous Yorkist conspiracies and pretenders, such as Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck, he systematically weakened the independent power of the nobility. Rather than engaging in costly foreign military campaigns, he prioritised restoring the crown’s depleted finances through rigorous administrative reform, efficient taxation, and the strict enforcement of feudal dues. His foreign policy focused on securing international recognition for his new dynasty through strategic marriage alliances, notably arranging the marriages of his eldest son, Arthur, to Catherine of Aragon, and his daughter, Margaret, to James IV of Scotland. Though his stringent financial policies earned him a reputation for avarice in his later years, his cautious governance left the realm stable, peaceful, and exceptionally wealthy, ensuring an undisputed and prosperous succession for his surviving son, Henry VIII. #thetudors #henryvii #tudor #britishhistory #tudors
