In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the reign of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, who seized the throne at Bosworth Field in 1485 and ended the Wars of the Roses. They discuss how Henry stabilized England after decades of civil war, marrying Elizabeth of York to unite the warring houses. Lucas explains Henry's shrewd financial policies, including the Court of Star Chamber and bonds of good behavior, which curbed the power of overmighty nobles. They delve into his foreign policy—avoiding costly wars, negotiating the Treaty of Étaples with France, and securing the Intercursus Magnus trade agreement with the Netherlands. The episode also covers the pretenders Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck, who threatened Henry's early reign. Lucas highlights how Henry's careful governance, from efficient tax collection to dynastic marriages (including Arthur's marriage to Catherine of Aragon), laid the foundation for the Tudor dynasty's stability and power. A must-listen for understanding how England transitioned from medieval chaos to early modern monarchy.
