Henry was a member of the Lancaster family. To bring the two families closer together he married Elizabeth of York (the niece of the man he had killed to become king). Henry Vll was the first Tudor King and reigned for 24 years until 1509. Henry Vll enjoyed music, gambling and building palaces.
Henry VII was not an obvious candidate for the throne when he seized it by victory over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. The Tudor family at the time were thought of at court as little more than Welsh gentry. Henry was a Lancastrian, with a tenuous claim to the throne. Henry was born in Wales when his mother was just 13 years old. His father Edmund died before he was born. Edmundâs father Owen was a squire at the court of Henry V and he was secretly married to Henryâs widow, Catherine of Valois. Edmund was declared legitimate and named Earl of Richmond.
