"Founder of the Tudor dynasty, Henry VII was a crucial figure in English history. In this study of the king's life and reign, the distinguished historian S.B. Chrimes explores the circumstances surrounding Henry's acquisition of the throne, examines the personnel and machinery of government, and surveys the king's social, political, and economic policies, law enforcement, and foreign strategy. This reissue of the book includes a new critical foreword and bibliographical updating by George Bernard, University of Southampton."--Jacket.
