King Henry VIIHenry VII was not destined to be the well-known (or perhaps better described as infamous) king that his son was after him, but his place in history remains important. With his victory over Richard III in 1485, Henry brought England out of the Middle Ages and ushered it into the modern era. His reign ended decades of bloody civil wars and provided the wealth and stability necessary for commerce and art to thrive in England. When Henry''s son, Henry VIII, ascended the throne in 1509, it marked England''s first uncontested transfer of power in almost 90 years. This fact alone is a testament to Henry''s achievements.
