From Henry VII. to Mary Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_England_(Hume_book) Produced by David Widger and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol. I., Part C." by David Hume is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume specifically covers the period from the rise of Henry VII to the reign of Mary, presenting a detailed exploration of the early Tudor monarchy and its complex political landscape. It delves into the circumstances surrounding Henry VII's ascent to the throne, including the decisive battle of Bosworth, the implications of his reign, and the tumultuous relations between the houses of Lancaster and York. At the start of this volume, Hume outlines the critical moment of Henry VII's victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field, which marks a significant turning point in English history. The narrative begins with Henry's immediate acceptance of the crown after the battle, discussing the legitimacy of his claim to the throne and the political rationale behind consolidating power. As Hume presents the background of civil strife and the intense rivalry within the royal families, the opening portion is rich with political analysis, exploring themes of legitimacy, power dynamics, and the relationships between nobility and monarchy. The beginning establishes a context of conflict, ambition, and the precariousness of royal authority that would define the Tudor era.
