The Flowering of the Tudor Rose

In fifteenth-century Wales and Brittany, the fatherless Henry Tudor grows from a guarded child into the principal Lancastrian claimant to the English throne. His uncle Jasper Tudor protects him through exile, while Margaret Beaufort works in England to preserve her son’s cause during the final struggles of the Wars of the Roses.
Henry returns with an improvised army, defeats Richard III at Bosworth and secures the crown as Henry VII. His marriage to Elizabeth of York joins the rival dynastic lines, but founding the Tudor monarchy requires more than a symbolic rose: the new king must survive doubtful legitimacy, rival claimants and the demands of government.
