Although supported by Lancastrians and Yorkists alienated by Richard
III's usurpation, Henry VII's first task was to secure his position. In
1486 he married Elizabeth of York, eldest daughter of Edward IV, thus
uniting the Houses of York and Lancaster. Henry's reign (1485-1509) was
troubled by revolts, sometimes involving pretenders (such as Perkin
Warbeck and Lambert Simnel) who impersonated Edward V or his brother. In
1485, Henry formed a personal bodyguard from his followers known as the
'Yeomen of the Guard' (the oldest military corps in existence today).
Henry strengthened the power of the monarchy by using traditional methods
of government to tighten royal administrationand increase revenues
(reportedly including a daily examination of accounts).Royal income rose
from an annual average of £52,000 to £142,000 by the end of Henry's
reign. Little co-operation between King and Parliament was required;
during Henry's reign of 24 years, seven Parliaments sat for some ten and
a half months.
Henry used dynastic royal marriages to establish his dynasty inEngland,
and help maintain peace. One daughter, Margaret, was married to James IV
of Scotland (from whom Mary, Queen of Scots and her son, James VI of
Scotland and James I of England, were descended); the other daughter
marriedLouis XII of France. Henry spent money shrewdly and left a full
treasury on his death in 1509.
Burke says he died 1 Apr 1509
Burke says he died 26 Jul 1455'

First sovereign of the House of Tudor.
