Winter King: Henry VII and the Dawn of Tudor England

Famed British author Thomas Penn takes an extraordinary journey into the dark and chilling world of the first Tudor King, Henry VII.

For decades, England had been ravaged by conspiracy, coups, and violence. Henry VII, the first Tudor king, came to power through a combination of luck, guile, and ruthlessness—but as a fugitive with a shaky claim to England's throne, he was widely regarded as a usurper and false king, and his hold on power was precarious.
After defeating Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, Henry put an end to the War of the Roses and founded the Tudor dynasty.
Henry had a valuable asset in the form of his queen and their children, who were the living embodiment of his hoped-for dynasty.
His marriage to Elizabeth of York brought together the warring houses of Lancaster and York, which had fought the bloody century-long Wars of the Roses.
Arthur, their older son, was about to marry a Spanish princess - Catherine of Aragon. But when Arthur died, Catherine‘s father demanded the dowry back. To maintain the Spanish alliance, Henry offered that he marry Catherine himself. In response, Catherine finally wed Henry's second son, who would grow up to be King Henry VIII..
Henry VII’s Tudor line became one of the best-known royal dynasties in English history. His direct descendant still sits on the throne today – King Charles III.

Thomas Penn re-creates the story of the tragic, magnetic Henry VII - a controlling, paranoid, avaricious monarch who was entering the most perilous years of his long reign.
Rich with drama and insight, Winter King is an astonishing story of pageantry, treachery, intrigue and incident--and the fraught, dangerous birth of Tudor England.
