Henry VII (English Monarch Series)

Rating:
Summary: Underappreciated King given a worthy biography
Review: Professor Chrimes has splendidly captured the life and reign of a sovereign traditionally overlooked in English history. From his bittersweet youth through a climactic battlefield victory against Richard II to nearly a quarter century of stable rule, Henry Tudor's intelligence, cunning and administrative abilities are convincingly and thoughtfully portrayed.
A domestic, tender side of the King is even shown as he comforts Queen Elizabeth after the death of their firstborn son, Prince Arthur.
This is a worthy entry in the Yale Series and a must for any serious Tudor historian.
