An overall adequate biography of the first Tudor king. It tells of how much he had accomplished (given his lack of formal training and education) to create a dynasty for his children and grandchildren. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

PREFACE -- This book is not to be regarded as primarily a biography, since little evidence exists for the more personal and intimate side of Henry's life, half of which was spent in more or less obscure circumstances before he became king.

Chapter I

TO THE BATTLE OF BOSWORTH

The Welshness of Henry Tudor can easily be, and often is, exaggerated.
