I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Henry Tudor, and I am the King of England by right of conquest. I am also the head of the House of Lancaster...and one of the last, sadly. I won the Battle of Bosworth against my nemesis Richard III the Yorkist and usurper, famous for the murder of the princes in the tower.I have put an end to the War of the Roses and I have married the rose of York, Queen Elizabeth, who has bore me four surviving children - Prince Arthur, Princess Margaret, Prince Henry and Princess Mary!I have made peace with my neighbouring countries (unlike SOME rulers I know!) and have secured my throne against the filty pretenders (finally)! If you obey me, you will find me a just and excellent king, but if you cross me, you WILL regret it! Remember the case of Sir William Stanley? He helped me on my way to the throne, yet he chose to betray the laws I set down! If you don't want to be executed, then don't betray your King - me! P.S - Just because I look like a middle-class clerk does NOT mean that I am not a suitable King of England! I began the New Monarchy - remember that!

My Interests

Governing, accounting my own bills, watching my family expand, bringing stability to England, producing heirs, promoting gentry, hearing Mass, turning Richard III's name black by Tudor propaganda, disposing of claimants. Oh, and I like to harass the nobility for their money - hey, I was in exile, and I KNOW the value of money - that's why I hardly make court a fun place, it's too expensive. I did spend a lot on my wife's funeral, but she is my wife, and her life was not a very peaceful one, even though I tried to make it more interesting, God knows mine was more interesting with her!

I'd like to meet:

John de la Pole - I have a bone to pick with him!Perkin Warbeck - he needs to be given a severe beating!Prince Arthur, taken away from me at far-away Ludlow Castle by the Sweat - Oh how I mourn my dear-departed son!Princess Margaret, in Scotland...My wife, Elizabeth, taken away too soon, too soon...My father - I never had the chance to know the man, being killed just before I was born!
