Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

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. #4 The Tower of London, the Archbishop of York’s residence, was the most impressive royal residence in London. It was originally built by William the Conqueror after 1066. The London headquarters of the House of York during the Wars of the Roses, it was more suited for defence than for comfort.
