Henry VII

More about the book

The reign of Henry VII is explored as a pivotal yet often overlooked period, showcasing his ability to unify a fractured monarchy and establish a strong treasury and navy. His unique equilibrium of mind enabled decisive action, though in later years, his growing suspicion and caution began to undermine his achievements. This complex balance of strength and vulnerability set the stage for future challenges to the Tudor dynasty. Additionally, the author, Charles Williams, known for his mysticism and contributions to the Inklings, adds a rich theological perspective to the narrative.
