Henry Tudor's claim to the English throne was tenuous to say the least, but when he defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth fields nobody was going to gainsay him, least of all Richard who had died in the battle.
When he married Elizabeth of York, uniting the Yorkist and Lancastrian houses, the war of the roses was effectively over.
Henry VII decided to strengthen his dynasty's grip on the throne by naming his eldest son Arthur. Arthur died before his father, so his younger brother Henry inherited both Arthur's throne and his wife.
Despite the fact that the Tudors were Welsh, he still persecuted Welsh for not speaking English.
In the 'Henry' line, this one came after the 6th one, but before the 8th.
