Neville Williams chronicles the dramatic arc of Henry Tudor's reign with precision and authority, painting a vivid portrait of a king who transformed a fractured medieval kingdom into the foundations of a modern nation-state, navigating treacherous courts, dynastic rivals, and the ever-present spectre of rebellion.\n\nWith an introduction by the celebrated historian Antonia Fraser, this richly illustrated volume situates Henry VII within the broader tapestry of late fifteenth-century Europe, examining his mastery of statecraft, his obsessive accumulation of royal revenue, and his shrewdly arranged diplomatic marriages. Williams illuminates a monarch too often overshadowed by his more flamboyant son, revealing a ruler of iron discipline and quiet cunning whose legacy outlasted them all — leaving the reader to wonder whether Henry VII was not the greatest Tudor of them all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130469589211,"sku":"2026200009700-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/036c5ff0-eefb-4ecd-ad40-95b8f1b18d75.png?v=1786585726","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009700-secondhand-the-life-and-times-of-henry-vii","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
