Henry the Seventh

James Gairdner’s historical biography of Henry the Seventh offers a fascinating insight into the life of the founder of England’s most famous dynasty: The Tudors. He argues that Henry’s noble birth as the head of the house of Lancaster set him inadvertently on the path to rule, despite never displaying any desire to dispossess either Edward IV or Richard III of the throne. Gairdner’s well-researched and lucid biography is essential reading for anyone interested in the Tudor dynasty.
