DID HENRY VII STEAL THE THRONE? Who is the real King of England? Succession to the throne | Tudors

History Documentaries

Should HENRY VII have been King of England and by extension were the Tudors the rightful rulers of England between 1485 and 1603? Furthermore, should Henry’s descendants still hold the throne today, or ought the crown to have gone to the descendants of George, Duke of Clarence, who was the brother of Edward IV? It’s a debate I see in the comments under my videos about the Wars of the Roses and the Tudors all the time, with some claiming that Henry took the throne by conquest (and so that’s that) and others maintaining that the true heirs are George’s descendants via his daughter, Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, who was ultimately beheaded on the orders of Henry VIII.
