    The roles that both his mother Margaret Beaufort and his wife Elizabeth of York played in his success can not be discounted. Margaret laid the foundation so he could show up, swing a sword and pluck up his crown. Elizabeth was arguably the rightful heir to her father's crown and conveyed all of her rights and aims onto Henry when she married him.

    Remember this above all: he was the smartest person in the room, and he had learned in the hardest schools of the time: the snake-pit courts of France and England. And he was supremely blessed in the persons of his mother and his wife.
    Remember, too, that the 2,000 French troops and Scottish auxiliaries at Bosworth Field were some of the finest in Europe. And he had the Stanley's. They knew he was the future. And they, too, had vied with Richard of Gloucester over control of the Marches. Never forget the local elements of politics.

    This is a great documentary but I've seen it about 5 times on this channel alone under different titles. Changing the title doesn't change the video, and if you are a huge fan of medieval history like I am, you start to come to resent being "tricked" by click-bait to click on the same video over and over again simply because the title has been changed. How about something new on your channel once in a while? I mean something REALLY new--not just an old video with a new name!!

    Henry Tudor right to be king was by conquest - nothing else. He had no legitimate right by lineage as his father's line was not part of Plantagenet family. True his grandmother on his father's side had been Queen of England (widow of Henry V), but that did not give him the right to the crown. On his mother's side he claim was only slightly better. She was a descendent of Edward III through John of Gaunt.(the 3rd son of Edward III) but as a woman at this time her right for succession was not recognized, especially since there were other Plantagenet family members who were alive and had better claims. All that being said, Henry Tudor did win the crown at Bosworth by combat.

Margret was descended from John ad his mistress, the governess of his kids........Elizabeth Woodville , grandmother to Henry VIII, commoner family whose marriage to Edward IV dismayed friends and relatives.. Elizabeth I and Elizabeth of York, henry vii s wife were named after Elizabeth Woodville, who worked with margaret beaufort for the marriage of their children future henry vii and elizabeth york , in order to end the War, and save their kids lives.

      @@greendragon4870 I think Richard III & Henry VII were more similar than they were different. Both of them were more-or-less usurpers with shaky blood-claims who imprisoned various relatives, & both attempted the curb the powers of the nobility so as to centralize & stabilize England.
      I have to give credit to Henry VII for achieving this goal; even at the height of his unpopularity, no one was in a position to depose him & he managed to leave the treasury fuller than he found it (of course, we both know his son would fritter away that small fortune). All the more impressive when he did it all without prior experience in estate management.
      But Richard III was gearing up to do much of the same; he promised he would treat Commons and Lords equally before the laws (read: hold the nobility accountable), and Henry VII adopted many of Richard's policies. Henry VII was certainly an able man, but I don't think his ability was unique; Louis XI of France had done similar reforms a generation earlier in France, & had Richard III lived, I think he would have been equally successful in implementing them.
      Richard, for all his many faults, was a better paper-pusher than his brother (whose sole talents appear to have been on the battlefield & in the bedroom), & were it not for his (perhaps justified) unpopularity with his brother's partisans, he probably would have turned out o-kay.

    As much as I adore Queen Elizabeth I.
    I often wonder what would've happened if King Edward IV didn't die when he did and survive abit longer until his son, Prince Edward later King Edward V become of age to properly take the throne - who knows? I've often wondered if Perkin Warbeck was truly Prince Richard of York considering the majority support from the international monarchies beside Castile and Aragorn.
    Or if Prince Arthur didn't die - would he treat Catherine of Aragorn alot better compared to his younger brother later King Henry VIII? what would've his reign been like? We all probably still be Roman Catholics but would he practice religious tolerance and acceptance like his niece did in her reign? We will never know...
    It's a shame that the women weren't recognized as next in line to the throne as Margaret of York had a direct line to the throne from her father, George Duke of Clarence, brother to King Edward IV, and cousin to Princess later Queen Elizabeth of York. Yet, years later
    King Henry VIII had an elderly Margaret Pole, Countess Sailsbury and her sons and grandsons executed due to their claim to the throne.

      Perkin Warbeck WAS NOT the Duke of anything, let alone of York….where did you get your information, “The Tudors”? And all of your “what if’s” are just plain irrelevant….why even ask? These lives were not an intellectual exercise, and Fate drove the cart. The facts are, Henry Tudor had zero claim to the throne, _because his mother’s rich and powerful family, the Beauforts, WERE ILLEGITIMATE,_ THAT is why they were barred from inheriting the Crown. The other point you missed is that, _during the Wars of the Roses, WOMEN DID NOT LEAD MEN INTO BATTLE, AND NO SOLDIER WOULD HAVE BACKED A WOMAN._ Did you not know that when daughters of kings had children, they weren’t princes or princesses?? Only the sons of the Blood can call their children “Prince” or “Princess.” This was also true of today’s Princess Anne, whose children wouldn’t have been “Prince” or “Princess,” but she refused titles for her kids; and her Aunt Princess Margaret was also of the royal blood, but as a woman her children also weren’t eligible for the titles “Prince” or “Princess” (her children were “Lord” and “Lady,” but her son inherited the title Earl of Snowden after his father’s death). The rest is mere twaddle.

    I am not a fan if any of these figures but I acknowledge the need for survival and the sad fact that these royal figures were usually either in power, or killed, or imprisoned permanently.. Earlier on, during the reign of Henry IV, the first Lancaster king, for the ones like Edmund Mortimer, House of Clarence, who actually had a better legal claim to the throne than the Lancasters or the Yorks,it was not accepted that he wanted to live a quiet life, in service to the king, or that he knew he did not have a chance of fighting the power of Henry IV, Edmund was called a coward and constantly solicited by his circle to fight for the throne. there are a lot of personal letters in support of this. Edmund, house of Clarence descends from second son of the late king Edward III, Lancaster and York descends from 3rd and 4th sons.
    It is understandable that Henry VII , Tudor, and earlier, Henry IV , first Lancastrian king, that they were paranoid. there were constant plots, and both of these Henrys, though unrelated, lived a time of exile, before they became king, fleeing for survival, because they were a threat to others due to their royal blood.
    Lancastrian Henry IV preserved his dynasty by keeping a watchful eye on his cousin Edmund... Edmund Mortimer was incredibly wealthy with great lands,
    and future generations of Lancaster kings, Henry V and Henry Vi, did not keep as watchful an eye on the Mortimer inheritance.
    Richard , Duke of York, age 14 , inherited the Mortimer wealth, and this is how he was able to help win that segment of the War of Roses, and put his son Edward IV, Richard III s older brother, on the throne, the first York king. The Yorks had a claim from two different bloodlines, and two different power bases of property and wealth., the Mortimers related to house of Clarence.
    this is how Richard III eventually came to power.

      if not kings or queens then what? corrupt politicians; presidents; despots; communists; oil rich sheiks?? Or, even worse, religious maniac terror groups. The 1% ers rule this planet, and don't you forget it. Admittedly royalty doesn't get voted in but except for politicians, neither does anyone else and the politicians are the worst because they have a peoples mandate to do what they want. Anyone who thinks that democracy is the bees knees needs to think again. We don't have democracy as it was intended. Nor should we have. Half the people who vote are borderline idiots and have no idea what they are doing. The other half are self serving and only vote for what will help them, not the whole country.

    Henry vii only became king because his mother had married into the Stanley family. Richard was by far the better soldier and administrator. The Stanley's were looking after they're own skins and switched away from Richard on the battlefield. The Stanley's were going to Kingmake that day and it suited them to have Henry, as his mother had married into the Stanley clan. This treason has always irked me and I hated All the Tudor dynasty, weak, gutless, heirless worthless Oh had Richard prevailed.

      Interesting take and not without merit. So what are your views on Richard and the 2 prince's in the tower? It's hard to see the truth through what we know. Elizabeth Woodville certainly thought he was responsible and why she pledged her daughter to wed Henry... I love Plantagenist history, it was a shame the dynasty had to end the way it did.

      Pure projection. Richard overthrew and disappeared the nephew he had sworn to Edward IV to protect. And waded to the throne through the blood of Hastings, Anthony Woodville, Richard Grey, and Vaughn, all without trial. Edward IV loyalists created Henry VII from Richard's deeds.

    How can a woman be the most chaste and the most fruitful? She had no sex and a ton of kids? Seems a contradiction, unless there's another definition of chastity I don't know about, which is possible, but she didn't have that many kids by the standard of the time either.

      "Chaste" doesn't actually mean "celibate." It just means that she followed all the rules for "proper" feminine sexuality of the time, i.e. no extra- or pre-marital sex; didn't flaunt her attractiveness or use her ~*feminine wiles*~ to tempt men; reserved any sensual/sexual behavior for her husband. So you can have a lot of sex and still be "chaste" so long as you're only having sex with your spouse!
      It could also possibly be used as a synonym for modest or humble.

      @@lunettasuziejewel2080 The 15th century was a funny old time in England. It wouldn't surprise me if HVII intended it as a contradiction, as a means of boasting about his dutiful wife and their blessed union. Or perhaps he meant "minimally sexual yet maximally fertile," perhaps another sign of divine blessing? I've never really looked into the historical meaning of chaste. I've always thought it meant celibate, so either that's true (which it likely isn't) and he was speaking figuratively, or the literal meaning must have been as you say - sexually well mannered as befits a wife. Either works for me, but it still sounds funny to someone who grew up with a different understanding of the word! 🙂

      As an American, I appreciate your love, but I'm uncertain about your logic. Are you saying that if Elizabeth I had not occupied the throne from 1558 to 1603, that the English would not have colonized the Eastern Seaboard the way that they did? And thus there would be no United States of America the laws of which, for the most part, followed English Common Law? And maybe if it were some other country that colonized the Eastern Seaboard, those colonies would never have rebelled against their mother country?
