Sample Book Insights:
#1 When the Tudors came to power in 1485, it signaled the closing stages of more than thirty years of civil war between the Houses of York and Lancaster. Henry Tudor’s ambitions for the throne had been sparked by the death of Edward IV in 1483.
#2 Henry Tudor, the king who overthrew Richard III in 1485, was a very private man who lacked the charisma of his Yorkist predecessors. He was also a very patient and sharp observer who was well trained by his uncle.
#3 Henry VII inherited an impressive suite of palaces from his Yorkist predecessors. The easternmost was Greenwich, originally built as Bella Court by Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, in 1453. It was the favorite palace of Edward IV, who in 1480 built a new Great Hall complete with a magnificent hammer-beam roof.
