Henry VII (1457-1509) was King of England and
Lord of Ireland from his seizing the crown on
22 August 1485 until his death on 21 April 1509,
as the first monarch of the House of Tudor. Henry
won the throne when he defeated Richard III
at the Battle of Bosworth Field. He was the last king
of England to win his throne on the field of battle. He
was successful in restoring the power and stability
of the English monarchy after the political upheavals
of the Wars of the Roses. He founded a long-lasting
dynasty and was peacefully succeeded by his son,
Henry VIII, after a reign of 23 years
