The Controversial Rise Of Henry VII: The First Tudor

[@notinthematrix6733]

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!!

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.

[@kimlove3927]

I think Clarences son Edward Plantagenet ;Earl of Warwick was next in line following Bosworth Field

[@anthonymaddox6515]

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.

[@alancoe1002]

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.

[@kathrynjordan8782]

A wonderful documentary. I love reading about Medieval history. I would have to say that one of the best things that Henry VII had was his wife Elizabeth of York. Even his mother Margaret Beaufort was another good thing for him. They played a huge part in his success.

[@jeng8401]

Agree and from all accounts it was a love match for them. He was a kinder King with her around. And she was smart to let her Mother in law feel she was in control and stayed out of her path. The fact he never married again was a testament to their relationship.

Quite a bit of important information glossed over or left out. Margaret Beaufort was a real mover and shaker and Stanley as well. Richard was besmirched forever by the machinations of the powers to put Henry on the throne. All done for money and power.

[@greendragon4870]

He was smart and powerful King who took the crown from usurper and his nephews murderer, made England wealth and strong country and finished War of Roses. Richard would never achieved anything of it. Margaret Beaufort married Stanley and arrange marriage between Henry and Elizabeth of York,but it was Henry and his army who convinced Stanley to support him in battle. Stop learning history from Philippa Gregory’s books

[@jeandehuit5385]

@@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.

[@greendragon4870]

@@jeandehuit5385 great comment, I agree,they both were usurpers. Also Henry spend a lot of time in Brittany and France where he probably learn how to rule following example of Louis XI. But my sympathy still with Henry VII because I think he was not only a great king,but also because he achieved his goals no matter how hard and almost impossible it was and he was a good faithful husband. For me it is an example of strong personality. It’s a tragedy that his son and granddaughters destroyed the dynasty and legacy that’s he build

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.

[@voraciousreader3341]

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.

Women are reduced to whores, sluts, witches or ignored entirely. Beaufort must have been the mother in law from hell. The hand writing in those books is likely to be Margaret's. I seriously doubt Henry's ability to keep track of every cent. He signed off, but she ordered everything.

[@lunettasuziejewel2080]

"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.

[@beenaplumber8379]

@@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! 🙂

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.

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.

To think, all of this had to happen exactly the way it did for us to have America. For better or worse, I love America. God bless her and her military. God bless England, long live the queen.

Death to monarchies!

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?

There is a documentary that says he was illegitimate and should never have been king

Why shoehorn "he was a refugee" into it?

Henry VII was the last Tudor to go to Heaven after death. The rest of them(except maybe poor crazy Mary I)followed the false religion of protestantism & promptly went to Hell when they passed from life.
