Henry’s politic wisdom in governance was singular, his wit always quick and ready, his reason pithy and substantial, his memory fresh and holding, his experience notable, his counsel fortunate and taken by wise deliberation, his speech gracious in diverse languages, his person goodly and amiable, his natural complexion of the purest mixture, his issue fayre and in good number; leagues and confederacies he had with all Christian princes, his mighty power was dread everywhere, not only within his realm but without also, his people were to him in as humble subjection as ever they were to king, his land many a day in peace and tranquillity, his prosperity in battle against his enemies was marvellous, his dealing in time of perils and dangers was cold and sober with great hardiness.”

—Bishop Fisher.

Furthermore, according to Amin, Henry’s reign can be summoned in the following:

“In light of the issues he had with pretenders, his hard-hitting financial policies and restrictive laws designed to curb noble power, it is often overlooked Henry assumed the throne with a serious handicap, having arrived in England a little-known, Welsh-born and Breton-raised protégé of the French regime possessing an inconsequential blood claim to the throne.

No king of England was less suited to rule the country upon their coronation than Henry, a penniless stranger to noble and commoner alike who had no experience of overseeing even a modest estate, let alone a vast and fractured kingdom.

That he was able to reach the end of his reign twenty-four years later in an insuperable position, not only the first English king to avoid overthrow since 1422, but also able to re-establish the strength, wealth, and stability of the crown in the process, was remarkable.

This was not accomplished through luck, but rather sheer hard work, meticulous attention to detail, and an iron-willed determination to outlast any and all rivals before him.”

Subtle foreshadowing?

Yandere king Henry VII (king henry viii father) and Favorite Mistress who the one who give birth to king henry viii and not Elizabeth of York.

I think the reader meets King Henry Vll shortly after the birth of Princess Margaret. Henry falls in love the moment he sees her. He had never felt such feelings against Elizabeth. The reader remains indifferent to the King's courtship. She says she doesn't want to be a nest destroyer. But Henry does not give up on his love. At first he tries to get your readership through the settlement. But when that doesn't work, he doesn't hesitate to threaten and get his hands dirty. The reader is forced to accept the King. Henry makes your reader his legitimate mistress. From their union, they have healthy children named Henry 8, Isabella, Mary and Katherine. Henry makes famous all the children born of the reader.He is protective of them. All children born of the reader will be legitimate heirs. No one can harm or disrespect their family. After the death of Prince Arthur, Henry becomes the Crown Prince.

What an interesting observation....when we talk about Elizabeth of York and Henry VII, it's as if they were the perfect romantic marriage but what if that wasn't the case...

Elizabeth was controlled by both her husband and her mother-in-law...

Also perhaps she knew the only way she can survive and live her life well was not to be involved in politics...even if it was at the cost of her family and supporters. At that point, she had children with Henry and had to think about them.

And regardless of how the marriage started, at some point I guess once you have kids with someone, feelings would arise, and Henry being faithful to Elizabeth probably helped with that.

He definitely was in love with Elizabeth, no doubt about that.

Secure The Throne|

King Henry VII x Reader

A/N: I’m disappointed that this is my first post on Tumblr. I wrote this after I had the most random dream about King Henry VII, specifically played by Mat. I thought that it was funny so hopefully someone can appreciate it.

“Join our family seat to make my rules secure,” Henry says. We are talking about how he has not yet found a wife to give an heir to the throne. “Henry, are you asking me to marry you?” I ask, shocked. I did not expect this from the conversation. I was just trying to give him advice. Do not get me wrong, I am not opposed to marrying Henry, though the prospect of being queen makes me nervous. On top of that, Henry and I are not courting. Is he asking me as a last resort to secure the throne and give him an heir, or is this something deeper? “Yes. You may not have realized, but I have loved you for a long time. I do hope you feel the same. So, will you marry me?” Henry seems so genuine. I know I want to say yes, but I am frightened. “Do you think that is a good idea?” I ask. “I do not care if it is a good idea, as long as you are my queen.” “Then yes, of course, I will marry you,” I say with a broad smile. Henry has his lips on mine as soon as I finish my sentence. I gasp, as I was not expecting it, but kiss back. Henry puts his hands on my face to deep in the kiss, pushing my back against the door. I put my hands in his long hair, slightly pulling at it before pulling away from the kiss. “Would people not be mad at the fact that you-the King-is kissing me, when we are only newly betrothed?” He grins smugly, “I’m the king; I can do whatever I please. Plus, I would not describe this as just kissing.”

Shropshire

The Henry Tudor Inn in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, is one of the oldest pubs in England.

The building is said to have hosted Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII) during the Bosworth campaign against Richard III in 1485.

Built for the local MP, Hugh Wygan, in the 15th century, tree-ring dating shows that the oldest part is the rear wing, dated to 1426, with the front dated from 1430 to 1431.

The original building included shops, a brewhouse, taproom and accommodation which attracted guests entering the town from the east over the English Bridge.

“My faithful lords and hardy soldiers who have endured so many dangers with me on land and sea, behold again how against our will we are tested in battle. For the Earl of Lincoln—a treacherous man, as you know—is taking up an unjust cause against me completely unprovoked.”

—Henry VII (1485-1509), when dealing with the Simnel rebellion.
